My Project

My students love to learn around the room. The days of sitting in one chair all day while learning are long gone, and I want to fully support my each of my 28 students' needs!

My goal for this project is to provide various options of seating that are easily moved throughout the room.

Some students like to learn in a quiet zone, and some students like more of a group setting while learning. These easy-to-move seating options will provide a place away from their chairs to learn while also providing students a chance to move while in their spots.

I have chosen many different seating options for so many different learning needs! The wobble stools provide the opportunity get wiggles out while remaining seated. The cushions provide two different sensory feelings. The lap desks provide an opportunity for students to still feel like they are in a desk setting but in the area of their choice. Finally, the stools give the students the choice of how they would like to be seated!
