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 clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. Also, my students could benefit academically by having access to headphones which would minimize distractions from other classmates. In addition, my classroom is lacking a carpet for select seating during whole group lessons and during reading activities. Many of my students are sitting at their desks during this time and are not paying attention. For this reason, having my students closer to myself in a rich and clean area would be phenomenal.
