Seating Options Can Make A Difference!

Help me give my students a different seating area in our life skills section of our room. They really get tired of chairs and desks all day. Having special needs kiddos, we try to swap things up.

My Project

Seating options can make a difference. When it comes to special needs students there is always a time when they would like to get out of their chairs and desks. In the life skills part of our classroom, they still have to sit in chairs, and I would like it if they could lounge a little bit in bean bags. It would give them the option to get closer to the floor to kick back and enjoy reading time under a lamp.

Being able to take a book or iPad to the bean bag area, I feel would increase the learning in our class.

I will be able to have reading time while the students relax as if they were home. Special needs students need many varieties when it comes to learning. Teachers like comfortable chairs and I know our students wish they had comfortable seating as well. So I would greatly appreciate it if someone would be so gracious in purchasing these beanbags. I know they would love and appreciate it as well.
