Providing my students with calm areas to prepare their minds or engage in their work is one of my goals for the new school year. 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 they feel will help them with their learning. 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. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. Providing flexible seating sets the stage for a calmer mind in order for my students to stay engaged. 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 are light weight and can be moved anywhere in the classroom for students to work on different surfaces. Adding the wobble cushions will provide sensory options for students that need to get out wiggles. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats and the beanbag 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 seen how choice can positively affect my students’ work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
