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 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.
The flexible seating I'm hoping to get will expand our choices in the classroom. The seats and cushions are washable and safe which are so important in an elementary classroom! They will also hold up to active and energetic 3rd graders. The benefit of flexible seating is obvious when you are in the classroom. I've noticed that the kids will get right to work when they know they can choose their work spot. Once they are comfortable, their mind can focus on learning and being creative.
