Flexible seating gives students the chance to take charge of their learning environment. Every day when my students come into the classroom they will choose a seat that will help them learn best. I want to make sure that my students feel safe and comfortable throughout every school day. In previous experiences, I have noticed that choosing a new and unique seat every day excites and motivates students. Students will sign a flexible seating contract at the beginning of the school year that says they know the rules and expectations for having flexible seating in the classroom. The products I have selected will help in my journey to having flexible seating in my classroom. The stability balls will be especially helpful to students who need to get their wiggles out! Wobble cushions will help students be able to move around while still staying in a seat or they can even be used on the floor. The bench will provide students with yet another seating option and it will be used for classroom storage space as well! I have seen the impact flexible seating has on student engagement and I hope to see that from the use of these items as well!
