Creating a positive learning environment is very important to student success, and it has to meet the needs of all students. Flexible seating is one way I can meet the need of each student individually. Currently, I have some students who prefer to stand, others who like to sit on the floor, and some who like to sit in my office chair. I want my students to have flexible seating options as they enter the classroom to learn every day. Many of my second graders also have a hard time sitting still. The bistro set will allow my students to stand while they work on projects. Research has concluded that individuals entering the workforce have a difficult time collaborating and working with others. I believe it's because traditionally, we ask our students to work independently the majority of the time. Our classrooms don't promote the idea of teamwork, socialization, and peer problem solving. This project will help young learners to gain much needed skills which will carry them throughout their entire life just by changing how our students are arranged every day.
