My students had flexible seating last year as kindergartners and are asking to have the option for flexible seating in our first grade classroom. They researched options and decided that they would love to have comfortable student-sized office chairs that can move. Research about environmental design shows the positive effect comfort can have on learning, human productivity, and creativity. According to an article in Edutopia by Prakash Nair and Randall Fielding, "The most basic comfort-related amenity is soft seating, and there's no longer any justification for the hard chairs on which students have to sit several hours each day." My students want to be able to swivel, rock, and move while learning. This kid-inspired project will allow them to be more engaged in their learning which will positively impact student achievement and overall health and wellness. We are ready to say goodbye to the hard chairs of the past and say hello to comfort and movement for our growing bodies!
