My Project

I work with Kindergarten through 5th grade students who all have different needs. Many of my students have a lot of energy and need a way to appropriately get that energy out while inside the classroom. At times, their high energy impacts their ability to focus and learn. Providing my students with flexible seating options will give them an outlet for that energy while maintaining focus and attention.

Students will be taught how to use the flexible seating appropriately in the classroom to aid their learning and will also be taught to advocate for themselves when they are feeling fidgety.
