Small Group Seats

Help me give my students a flexible seat for small group instruction and choice seating.

My Project

These seats will allow my students to have small group instruction more seamlessly. They are currently having to bring their own seats from their desk which makes them lose instructional time. Having flexible seating will also help them be more engaged in the small group lessons. My goal is that students will be able to focus more on small group instruction without having to lug a chair around. I also hope that students will be more motivated to want to come to small group instruction. If they are comfortable they can focus on what's most important.
