Fully funding my project would mean the students in my class would be provided with a variety of seating options to use when they are completing independent or collaborative work with classmates. Additionally, this flexible seating would be an option for students who just need to move during teacher-led instruction. They will be able to move their body while still sitting attentively. The Hokki stools and Balance balls would be available to all students, but would be especially beneficial to the students who need support in maintaining focus or a calm temperament.
Research shows that some benefits of flexible seating in classrooms include increasing student motivation, raising the levels of student engagement, and improving overall health. Students also seem to thrive in an environment that promotes flexibility, allows students to make choices based on their needs, and allow for movement. These materials would really assist me in creating the learning environment I want to have in my classroom. I want my students to feel safe to take risks, comfortable enough to open their minds and hearts and make choices that are right for them and that they can be proud of. Thank you for reading about and supporting my project. I know these materials will have a positive impact on learning in my classroom!
