Just like adults get tired of sitting in hard chairs all day, my students do, too! They need more flexible/comfortable seating options to enhance student engagement and learning. Studies show that students learn better when they are physically active and comfortable. Students are able to bounce on an exercise ball, sit, stand, kneel, etc. The chairs will be added to our classroom Book Nook, where they can unwind and relax while reading their favorite book! This project would significantly help my students stay engaged in our learning throughout the day. I want them to feel comfortable and at home in our classroom. I cannot wait to see all of the things we can do with flexible seating!
