Having a flexible seat friendly classroom encourages a classroom that feels like a home away from home. With providing students with a variety of seating options, you are ensuring the comfort and overall focus and hard work of every student. This comfort also transfers into their willingness to try new things and take change in stride. The ball chairs will allow for comfortable seating while still allowing the students to wiggle, which traditional school standard chair fail to provide. Having flexible seating also encourages a sense of community and collaboration between students. For example, during group assignments, many students prefer to work together laying on the floor. The floor cushions would allow the students to collaborate better, by allowing them to sit comfortably in their group circles. The saucer and inflatable chairs will allow students to read in more comfortable sitting positions, another standard that traditional school standard chairs are not able to provide. With flexible seating, we are creating future leaders who will be able to make smart decisions; and that starts with flexible seating!
