Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Flexible seating has many benefits. The benefits include providing physical movement that increases blood flow to the brain and body. This also helps keep young minds more alert and focused. Moving around and changing positions can help keep students' brains engaged and prevent them from getting bored or restless. This can also help reduce disruptive behaviors. Flexible seating can help students improve their communication skills by encouraging them to interact more closely with others.

I want to introduce flexible seating options to the students at our school so they can be comfortable and continue to perform well academically.
