My Project

My students love to work in groups, moving around the room as needed. Right now we have flexible seating, but it is getting worn out from years of use and my students are desperate for our chairs to be replaced.

Flexible seating allows the students to move around the room, stretching their legs, and working in different groups of students.

We all know movement increases oxygen to the brain, helping students be able to focus better and longer. These chairs will also offer a super cozy spot during independent reading.
