With Common Core State Standards, my students are expected to engage in rigorous lessons throughout the day. This is no easy task! I noticed that when students are able to sit in areas that they choose and in a seat that meets their needs, they are able to focus on the challenging task at hand. I've noticed that having flexible seating allows my students to thrive socially and master self regulation. In flexible seating students are able to work for longer periods of time, build stamina, and confidence. My goal is to create a positive and engaging learning environment. I want my students to look forward to coming into my classroom every day. I am confident that having flexible seating will allow my students to develop a positive attitude towards school and learning. Students will be able to focus on building reading stamina on the bean bag chairs in our classroom library. Students will be able to engage in challenging work at their desk while using the wobble stools to help them focus. Students will easily be able to choose their seat around the room with the light weight metal stools. Students can use the wobble cushion and scoop rockers while engaging in math games.
