By having flexible seating in my classroom it will help my students stay focused and learn to the best of their abilities. I have a lot of students that have a lot of energy and in 1st grade they don't get to expel that energy as much as they did in Kindergarten. Sitting in a traditional desk or a traditional table is hard for some of my students and causes them to be distracted during lessons or working independently. Currently I only have three lap desks, five wobble seats, and four seat cushions. They are used by students who need them the most and the lap desks are first come first serve. By having a choice of seating it enhances my students learning showing them they are in control of their own learning. By having more choices for flexible seating my students would all be able to chose where they are most comfortable sitting and give them more motivation to do their best on their work. It will help my students grow and learn that maximizing their learning environment can maximize their growth. The products I chose will help my students be able to focus more when they are in their chairs during independent work times. The stools will help my kids who are at my table doing reading or testing to feel free to move around on them or sit higher up. The scoop chairs and lap desks will ensure that my students who choose to work on the floor can maximize their space by having something to work on or move freely while they are working. I have seen first hand how choice can affect a child's learning positively.
