My goal is to fully implement flexible seating options in my classroom, because not all students focus and learn best in a traditional classroom setting. A multitude of research shows that students are empowered and invested in their learning when given choices, and the ability to move around when needed. Research also shows that it improves their metabolism, increases oxygen flow to the brain, and overall core strength. It's no surprise that movement is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior! Some students prefer to stand, some prefer to sit on the floor, while others prefer to sit on a stability ball or have cushions on their chairs. By allowing flexibility, students take control of their learning, which in turn increases self-awareness and responsibility. I want to empower them to be active participants in their education, as well as create and foster lifelong healthy habits that kids will take with them throughout their entire lives. I am excited to bring this project to life because my students deserve a learning space that is conducive to learning and best suited for their needs. My classroom is in need of your support to make this flexible seating environment come true!
