I want to create a classroom that each student will love when they first walk in. I want to give my students a classroom environment that they will love to come to and learn from every day. Over the years, I have seen all the amazing learning benefits of flexible seating. I want my kids to come to school every day and be excited to learn. One way of accomplishing this is by incorporating flexible seating. With flexible seating my students will be able to sit in seats they feel most comfortable to learn in. By providing them with the different options, they will be able to make their own decision in what they believe will help them the most. These are the little things that excite them and make them happy to be in school and learn.
