These seats will help my students stay in their chairs longer, instead of distracting their peers. This will also keep them from wandering the classroom. Some students are sensory driven as well, so these chairs could help in terms of keeping their mind at ease while learning. Because I am teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade, it is imperative that I have different seating styles for students to use in order to find what works best for them. I only ask for two seats because l want to ensure that they are not misused and only for the students who truly need them to help focus on other tasks.
