As adults, we understand that we need to feel safe and comfortable in our workspace to find joy in what we are doing. For students learning in my Reading class, it is no different. Flexible seating brings CHOICE, COMFORT, AND COLLABORATION into the school day as students strengthen their reading and writing skills. I currently have 2 yoga balls in my classroom for flexible seating. The first thing students ask when they come into the classroom is, "Ms. Bender is it my turn for flexible seating today?!" Access to flexible seating creates a classroom environment that is student-centered. Students are excited to focus reading and writing when they have choice in where and how they sit in the classroom.
