Flexible seating allows each student to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times students are able to choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, lap desks, or bosu balls. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating to help each of them learn. The bean bag chairs are a class favorite where they can be used as an alternative chair, the teepee provides a quiet reading space for learners and the trampoline will provide students a space to quickly jump out their wiggles if it is needed.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
