Flexible seating and fidgets are great tools to have in the classroom to help differentiate our learning environment. Having different options for our students to sit outside of the regular small group tables, can help to focus their learning. Providing our students with these flexible seating options will allow our students to learn in an environment that is best suited for their individual needs. Our students all learn differently, being so, this project will allow us to give them the best environment to match their unique learning needs. The Ergo Bounce Cantilever Chairs I have selected will give students the comfort they need as they sit the way that best suits them! With a flexible seat back and a unique steel frame that provides both spring and stability, each chair will allow the students to sit forward, sideways, and even bounce! Fidget toys have been proven to increase students' on-task behavior and attention-to-task. By utilizing these sensory items within our classroom, students will be better able to balance their sensory systems and be better prepared for their academic work. The fidget toys were selected specifically to help boost students' focus and productivity, while also allowing their minds a bit of a fun mental break - thereby making it easier to focus. Your donations will help us create an even more comfortable, and welcoming environment to help our little Falcon's SOAR!
