I've noticed that my students have become antsy and anxious to get out of their seats throughout the day. Somehow the expectation at school for students has become for them to sit down, not talk, and do as they're told for nine hours out of their day. And when they return home, the expectation is more than likely very similar. These bean bag chairs and loungers will be used to create a peaceful space where children can relax during their learning. With your donation, we can offer our children a different environment from the "desk and chair" classroom that majority of them have experienced throughout their academic lives.
We can't expect our students to learn in an environment in which they are not completely comfortable. Not only will bean bag chairs and loungers offer students something to look forward to but it offers options to students who may need a differentiated seating arrangement to better their learning.
