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 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. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The stools will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats and the lap table chair will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. I have also asked for an easel, for learning to happen around the room. Headphones for students to drown out other noises that may distract them, listen to a story being read to them (which has so many benefits), or get a lesson taught to them online. I have asked for an emotions chart to help my trauma students identify their feelings and learn how to safely cope with their emotions. This was paired with some figit toys that help pull their brain back out of fight or flight mode and allow them to work through their emotions.
