This project will significantly change the lives of my students by providing a unique learning environment. The immediate benefits of flexible seating include burning more calories, using up excess energy, improving metabolism, increased motivation and engagement, creating a better oxygen flow to the brain, and improving core strength and overall posture. Students will be using the different seating options such as stability balls, hokki stools, and wobble cushions to allow them to wiggle while they work keeping their minds focused. Table & stools, couches, and beanbag chairs help give the students the comfort while they learn. The student's have an opportunity to use these different materials to choose what works best for their learning. This will improve their learning by allowing them choice and ownership over their environment.
