Alternative seating is a choice provided to students that allows them to work around the room and outside to be comfortable and more focused. Bean bags in the reading center, lapboards on the carpet and captain's chairs outside are just a few examples of my project in motion. The more choices students have the more they feel invested and responsible for their learning. I want the classroom to feel safe, comfortable and inspiring to my students. The soft padded stools will be used for small group guided instruction. This is where I teach 5-6 students at their level. The additional stools will be in the Writing Center where students can publish their stories. The soft seats will be used during independent work time. After guided instruction, students can find a comfortable spot to work on the carpet or outside. The magnetic rod will be used to hang our "Choice Pocket chart" in the front of the room. Students will move their name card to the alternative seat they choose for the lesson. This will give me a visual where everyone is working and it will allow for all students to have a turn with the variety of seating choices. Alternative seating provides students the learning environment they need to do their best. I feel students do their best when they are comfortable. Having a variety of seating choices will improve student motivation and focus while they read throughout the day. I anticipate greater engagement, more excitement and a higher desire to learn
