Flexible seating is a great way for students to be comfortable while learning! Often times, I see my students adjusting themselves in their seats and needing to get up more because they are uncomfortable. The regular school chairs are so hard and fixed to a certain position. The students will be able to pick their seating choice each week and take charge of their learning. I had one ball chair in my classroom last year and rotated it among my students. They absolutely loved it and couldn't wait until they got to use it again. The students who got the ball were so engaged and got to have fun while learning! If they needed to wiggle or move a little, no problem! The ball is perfect for them to wiggle and bounce to get some of that built up energy out. I would love to have more ball chairs to help reach more of my students. Students are more engaged in their learning when they are comfortable. The bean bag cubes will provide comfort while they are working at their desk or anywhere around the room. Most of the items I picked for flex seating can be positioned around the room at a desk, table, or even on its own! The wobble cushions are perfect for carpet seating and for those students who still want to sit in a regular chair, but also be able to be comfortable and wiggle when they need to. These seating choices are extremely beneficial so that my students can stay focused and take charge of their learning. Please help make my student's learning a success with flexible seating!
