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 clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. 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. 3rd grade reading is a huge jump! It is the first year they encounter the STAAR test and my goal as their teacher is to keep their minds growing and working to the best of their ability! I love watching them grow into independent thinkers and choosing where they sit is just the beginning!
