Help me give my students a steel sensory swing to help encourage literacy. Sitting in areas other than chairs that are comfortable and allows my resource students to move helps motivate them to read/math or complete assignments.

My Project
Comfortable seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Being able to choose a location in the classroom that works for them increase student motivation to complete assignments and also gives them a sense of making choices. Currently my resource students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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.
The items I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement.
These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The sensory swing will allow students to move while completing an assignment if the student is having sensory needs at that time. The sensory tent will allow students to sit in a closed area while completing an assignment or if that student needs an area to sit and gather thoughts for behaviors that are not conducive for learning.
I have seen that by giving my students choices it affects their work completion and behavior being that I have students who have different special education exceptionalities. With these additional item, students will soar!
