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: 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 when they choose their own seat. The items I have selected play directly into this engagement. With these items I will create a library nook to nurture the love of reading. I will also now have enough book bins for each students to have their own. This is crucial in flexible seating because the students do not have a desk to store their items in. I have made the choice to allow my students to be individuals, to think for themselves, and to ultimately make the best choices that suit each and every one of them. Thank you so much for supporting my project.
