Flexible seating allows the students to choose how they learn best. I have found in my experience that students love choice. “Outside the windows of our classroom is a dynamic, fast-paced, and ever-changing world full of choices. How can we expect our students to solve problems and make choices independently if we constantly solve their problems and make their choices for them?” From talking to the current team of 4th grade teachers, they say that the students prefer flexible seating and truly see an improvement in their attention span and work quality. With flexible seating, it allows the students to quickly and easily pair up and work collaboratively.
