About my class

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During station time they need a comfortable option for seating. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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 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 stations more effective. The bench with the shelf underneath will be a good option for library station. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options for writing and fluency stations. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. 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!
