Classrooms need to look different from how they did one hundred years ago, but we’re still seeing rows and rows of desks. The skills students need these days – 21st Century skills – can’t really be taught properly in a classroom where you have created islands of desks .Having more flexible seating in my classroom will allow my students to have more options for where and how they sit during the day. There are many benefits to flexible seating including burning more calories, using up excess energy, improving metabolism, increased motivation and engagement, creating a better oxygen flow to the brain, and improving core strength and overall posture. With these items my students will have more opportunities to sit in various locations in the classroom in order to help them be more successful. They will have lap desks to be able to go sit on the floor by themselves and work and pillows to use to go and sit in various places around the room to work.
