Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During literacy center time they 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 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. Letting them choose where to sit and get the wiggles out while still getting their work done helps them be independent. First graders need to fidget and move every chance they get. Currently we don't have any chairs/stools for the "work with teacher' table. Students are having to drag their chairs to my table for every center rotation. My plan for the wobble chairs is to utilize them at the teacher table or the poem table in my classroom.
