My Project

This project contains a variety of flexible seating options. We have more students that usual. Therefore we need to maximize space and be creative to find areas for small group work.

Students learn best when comfortable and happy.

They get excited to use their flexible seat options. In this projects there are small cushions to bring in the hall as well as, high stools and low stools to use around the room.

Sometimes we use them for small groups or for students to come closer to the Smartboard. There are many uses and benefits of flexible seating.

Our students will be excited to use them.
