Flexible Seating, also called Alternate Seating, provides an amazing 21st Century Classroom experience for my fifth graders! There is no better way for me to show support for my student-centered classroom, than creating it from a child’s point of view! Comfortable Students + Classroom Ownership + Empowering Student Choices = Amazing Student Engagement! Being uncomfortable is unhealthy, but most importantly it does not improve attention and work ethic; therefore, loses student motivation and engagement. As an adult, I can not nor could not, sit at a desk all day in an expensive, luxurious chair, let alone a cold, hard student school chair. So why should I do that to students? When it’s time for me to focus and work, I grab my materials and I CHOOSE a place to work where I know I can do my best. If this is what works best for me, then this is what I want for my students.
