Last year I noticed that my students enjoyed lying on the floor, standing instead of sitting, choosing my cushioned seats vs. regular chairs during work time so I started looking into flexible seating. Flexible seating is a way to enrich their learning and I am all for that! This project will impact my students on a daily basis by giving them the opportunity to create a learning environment fit for them and their needs. I know that students do not all learn the same way so I want to meet their needs by giving them choice through the Runtz ball chairs, Hokki Stools, Mats, chair bands and stability cushions.
