Why flexible seating? There are SO many benefits of flexible seating for students. I am going to share the four biggest reasons that I believe I need flexible seating in my classroom. One of the simplest reasons being 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. The second reason being comfort. An uncomfortable student is a distracted and unproductive student. Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused, and productive. The third reason is physical health. Children need to move. Flexible seating allows students to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. This burns more calories and increases metabolism while keeping the students young minds more alert and focused. The last and most important reason that I would love to have flexible seating in my room is sensory input. Flexible seating stimulates students’ sense of touch. This stimulation will help children focus and process information. Sensory input is especially helpful for students with ADHD, ADD, and ASD. These are just four of the many reasons that I feel the need to have flexible seating in my classroom.
