My Project

In traditional classrooms, children are expected to sit still in their hard plastic chairs for extended periods, which can be difficult for some students. As a result, they end up missing out on important lessons because they're too busy trying to make themselves sit still. Children are naturally curious and want to learn however, sometimes, their need for movement becomes a challenge.

In order to address the challenge of needing to move, I believe that providing flexible seating options can make a significant difference.

By allowing children to stand, sit on the floor, slightly bounce, tap their feet, or wiggle in a controlled manner while still facing the speaker and presentation, they can channel their energy in a positive direction and improve their overall learning experience. This approach not only accommodates children's natural inclination to move but also ensures that they can focus on learning effectively without feeling restricted.
