My Project

I am looking to add more flexible seating options in my 5th-grade classroom. I am a second-year teacher so spending my own money on items like these is hard. Flexible seating will increase students' excitement about school and their desire to further their education. The floor seats will be used during independent work times, as a reward for great behavior/engagement, and during small group time. We just got a carpet that they love to sit on so having seats they can use will make it even better. The yoga ball seats will be used to work at the teacher's table and to provide some movement during the day. The one wobble stool I have is a big hit, and I want to provide them with other options.
