When students are given a choice in their learning they begin to take ownership. I have seen that happen in the last two years as I have begun to implement flexible seating in the classroom. When my students come into my classroom they have the choice of where they want to sit. They have had the opportunity to choose to sit in a camp or beach chair, bean bag, or on the floor with a clip board and pillow. With this project, they would have additional seating and working options. The Surf Portable Lap Desks and the Laptop Bed Trays will give the students a portable surface which they can more anywhere in the room to work. They will also make a convenient platform for students to use to conference with one another on writing pieces. The SoftZone Floor Cushions are perfect for the students to use at our low tables and with the lap desks. They have handles making them easy to transport around the room. As students grow, their learning needs will change. Flexible seating allows students to sit in a manner that suits their learning needs. The products I have chosen will provide my students with more seating options which will benefit them as they grow and change. Both the SitWell Adjustable Stool and the Kore WOBBLE Chair are designed for the flexible classroom and for active students. The stools are safe for students to sit and wiggle, so they are a perfect outlet for kids to release energy safely while learning. The stools will allow active students to be active without distracting others. Flexible seating gives students the tools to take ownership of their learning, become engaged learners, and to focus and concentrate in the classroom in order to become successful students.
