Flexible Seating Makes For A Great Time In Art Class!

Funded Aug 24, 2021

I greatly appreciate the opportunity to give my students seating flexibility in the classroom. The bouncy feet and bands for chairs were a huge hit and definitely curved behavior issues for many students in my classroom. My students were very excited to have a turn with "wheels on their chair" and I had to create a chart of a few of my classes to rotate the bands and bouncy feet. I have seen fewer melt downs during instruction and more time seated and focused from specific students in my classroom. It is amazing to see what a simple change in seating can do for some children.

Another item from my project that I have been using a lot of is the laminator. I use it to create items such as visual schedules and reinforcement charts for a few of my SpEd kiddos and it is nice to be able to create these items for them in a moment's notice.

My students appreciated having a diversity in color with construction paper projects where they were able to use a variety of brown toned paper that they had never had access to before. It fills my heart with an immense joy to be able to give my students these opportunities to create beautiful art while some of their basic needs are being met!”
