Due to the pandemic, the students are not allowed to have much movement. Many of these children have spent the last 18 months working remotely from home, so it is very difficult for them to sit still and focus. Having some flexible seating would allow for a release of energy while still being focused. Unfortunately many of these students are already 1-2 years behind. We need to pull out all the stops and make learning fun, accessible and engaging. Thank you in advance for reading this project and supporting us!
