Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them during independent work time. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating - whether that be at a table spot or lying on the floor. 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 a table spot.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers 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 wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats and the beanbag chairs will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. The wobble cushions will allow students to sit or kneel at tables while activating their senses tactically. The stools will be utilized during small group instruction with others made available for independent work. The balance balls will allow the children to maintain equilibrium and strengthen their core at the same time.
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!
