This year I would like to implement flexible seating in my classroom. Currently my classroom has hard tile floors and small plastic chairs for the students to sit on during the day. With help from you my students will be able to come in the class and choose which seat they would like each day. They will have the option of sitting on a wobble chair, balance ball, calming cushion or even laying on a yoga mat. By having my students choose where they would like to sit I am hopeful that it will motivate them to come to school on time, stay focused and encourage them to do their best in the classroom. Research shows that there are health benefits to having flexible seating in the classroom. Students are burning more calories each day, have a higher metabolism, better oxygen flow to the brain, improved core strength and appropriate posture. There are also studies on how certain positions such as laying on your stomach on a yoga mat can improve penmanship. Having a classroom with flexible seating will allow me to create an environment that students are engaged, behavior issues are minimal, and learning is happening!
