Help me give my students cozy flexible seating options to place in our classroom library.

My Project

My scholars are an active bunch who need options to create their own comfort. Having all students sit in standard classroom chairs has proven to be more of a distraction than a necessity.

The purpose of this project is to provide a variety of seating options that meet my students' individual needs while offering them a sense of responsibility and comfort.

In my classroom, my students are learning to be independent and in charge of making choices that work for them. We can help foster this independence by providing my kindergarteners with a range of functional and comfortable seating.
