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 under tables with lap desks or using the floor. 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 excited and engaged in their work and do not disturb their friends when they are given a choice of where and how 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 seat cushions are great for sensory learners and students who need to do something with their hands while they listen and learn. 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 stability balls and the chair bands will allow for additional movement seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
The lighting covers will create a calm learning space so that the energy released from the scholars is confined to a calm atmosphere. Florescent lights are harsh and turning the lights off isn't always a realistic option.
