My Project

Our classroom is full of different types of little learners. In Kindergarten, our bodies are always wiggling and moving - some more than others! We take movement breaks throughout the day to help us refocus ourselves, but we are looking for more options.

Flexible seating would help our little learners wiggle their bodies while also focusing on instruction and their work.

We are always looking for the best ways to help and support our students. We believe that by giving them flexible seating choices, we can better support their needs.
