My Project

Many of my students love the opportunity to sit in a different type of chair after being in one place for 90 minutes! Being in a classroom, often the same seat with little to no opportunity for movement, makes a classroom with flexible seating that much more inviting.

Students who struggle with feeling comfortable in the classroom often prefer to have flexible seating options in order to help them feel better in the classroom

I have two options now and would love two more flexible seating options for the start of the new school year. Helping my students be comfortable in my space makes it their space also!

My students' well-being and mental health are important to me and these seating options will add to their well-being while in my classroom!
