My Project

As my older students work on group projects or practice their recorders and instruments independently, I'd like to give them other seating options instead of just the floor or stools. It it my intent to make my room a fun and flexible space.

In addition to having different seating options, the yoga balls help with posture while playing recorders.

Good posture is not only good for us all physically, but is important for breath control while playing wind instruments and singing, Help me bring more seating options that are both fun and functional to my classroom. These seating options will help not only my gen ed students, but my ASD (Autism) students as well.
