My Project

We are in need of more seating options in our classroom. Currently, the students sit on the floor or rug with a clipboard when they do not want to sit at their desks. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work and sit.

The cushions and rockers that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The comfy floor seats and rocker seats will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
