My Project

Ergonomic seating would support the learning and development of my first-grade students. The standard classroom seats we are currently using are not developmentally appropriate for all learners, often leading to discomfort, difficulty focusing and even falling out of their chairs.

Ergonomic seating would improve concentration and create a more engaging and inclusive learning environment for all of my students.

It would also allow my students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. The stools and wave seats that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools will allow students to sit at their desk or the small group table while allowing some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for many students that just need to get the wiggles out.

Your contribution can make a meaningful difference in fostering their growth and success!
