My Project

We are currently in need of some new flexible seating options for our fourth grade learning. The wiggle stools, rolling stools, and folding floor seats will enhance our choices for seating while we learn and grow.

Students need to be comfortable while they learn.

We are far beyond the 1950's idea of rows of desks and chairs. When my students are engaged in instruction, they are gathered at the front of my room and almost never sit at their desks. Having a variety of will give students a great advantage as they enage in their learning environment.
