Flexible seating gives all the students a chance to get comfy and excited about reading and engaging in classwork. 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: sitting at different tables, sitting under tables, 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 desks. The chairs selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The reclinable stadium chairs will allow them to sit around the room comfortably while curling up with their books to read. They are lightweight and can easily be used around the room. The bouncy ball chairs will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow in our learning.
