Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they 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, sitting at the counters on stools, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board near our library. 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. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive when they are given a choice of where to work. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The dining set will allow students to sit at a higher table to collaborate. The futon couch and saucer chairs provide a more relaxed atmosphere in which to work - allowing additional comfortable floor seating options. The saucer chairs are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. 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!
