My Project

I am hoping to get flexible seating options and fidgets for my students. Sitting in a hard seat all day is not fun. Children need to move and flexible seating options give them the chance to get their wiggles out by wobbling in a wobble chair or using a balance disk. The wiggle chairs will help students focus and will also increase oxygen flow to the brain which will promote higher academic performance. Fidgets will also help the students focus on the lessons being taught by giving them an outlet for their restless hands.
