My first grade this year and any other first grade I have teach are kids full of energy and creativity. Unfortunately not every classroom give the flexibility to have choices to move around classroom and feel comfortable while learning. If for an adul seating for 1 hour is hard I can imagine for a kid. Flexible seating give them 1.Choice Students feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment. Flexible seating allows students to choose where they work and with whom. It also allows them to change their location and positions as needed. 2. Physical Health Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused. It’s no surprise that physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. 3. Comfort An uncomfortable student, is a distracted and unproductive student. For example, picture a student who skipped or didn’t have access to breakfast. As the countdown to lunch approaches, the sound of his or her growling stomach will make it impossibly hard to hear the teacher’s voice. A uncomfortable chair can have the same affect. Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. 4. Community Traditional desks can make students territorial or possessive over their space and supplies. Flexible seating encourages students to share both. And, it encourages them to take turns in different locations and with different seating options. 5. Collaboration Flexible seating allows students to quickly and easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class. And much more!
