Flexible Seating for Success! Help me give my students the choice to sit comfortably while learning and working using balance balls, wobble chairs, portable lap desks, and standing workstations. My Students The sixth grade students I will have next year are very high energy, lovable, kind and considerate! They are driven by positive reinforcement and are highly motivated and determined to succeed and learn. I have noticed in my 21 years of teaching, that students at any age tend to learn better, if they are given the right equipment to allow them to move, sit comfortably and learn at the same time. Having the choice to sit in more comfortable seating options truly engages students! I have begun implementing flexible seating options over the past two years that I have made myself, or bought from garage sales and my students have loved it! I noticed an increase in achievement, rigor, respect, and collaboration. My Project Wobble stools, bounce ball chairs, and comfortable furniture will help turn my classroom into an environment where students feel empowered! I currently have some options available to students outside of the traditional desk/chair option, but money is an issue. Flexible seating promotes student choice, is good for physical health, comfort, and encourages collaboration and a sense of community. Children need to move and be comfortable when learning and working. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused. An uncomfortable student is unproductive and off task. Giving students the choice to sit where they feel they will be most successful that day, is empowering to them and promotes independence!
