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 only given the choice of your typical butcher block tables with chairs. This furniteure has lasted many years (28 to be exact). It's done a wonderful job but it is now time to update and bring out that flexible seating and creativity! 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. I want students to thrive in the art room environment! My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their classmates when they are given a choice of where to work. I hope that the change of environment will foster new growth and creativity among an array of students. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The stools will be an update to current typical seating options, the bar stools will be for students to work at counter space at bar height, and the table/chair height will also be another option to sit or stand at. I can't wait to see students thrive in their new environment!
