Our classroom environment focuses on individual uniqueness and collaboration. An important aspect of this environment is allowing students to create their best possible learning space. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. If students are comfortable and motivated, engaging them in content is easy. Students love the idea of making a choice that will benefit them and make them feel successful. My students are more engaged within the content when given a choice of their best learning space. The products that I have selected will help my students to have additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The Fidget Bands will attach to our classroom chairs to allow students to wiggle and fidget their feet without disrupting other learners. The Sit Spots will Velcro to our carpet in our whole-group area and will give students a sense of having their own, personal space. The Bean Bags will allow students to get comfortable around the room as they read. Students love to wobble while they work! The Wobble chairs will provide them with an opportunity to move without distracting others. Finally, the Lap Desk Trays will allow students to work anywhere around the room and provide ample space for students to read books, work on assignments, or learn on classroom devices. Overall, student engagement is my top priority. Flexible seating choices will allow my students the opportunity to find their best learning space to be successful.
