Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they can 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, or sitting or laying on the floor with technology or a clipboard. Ensuring 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. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. Creating a safe space with sensory items is also necessary to reducing conflict and guaranteeing all students with equal opportunities to focus and learn.
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 and a space to re-focus.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The wobble chairs will allow for additional comfortable floor seating as well as in their desk chairs. The sensory items and fidget toys are to help my diverse students with varying learning needs focus and remain calm and safe.
