Many students struggle with sitting in hard desk chairs all day. I want my classroom to have multiple options for students to choose from that can meet their needs. I have added cushions, a small area rug for a calm down corner, a few wobble stools for those students who need to wiggle, and a couple of balance balls. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times 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. 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. 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 will allow students to sit at tables or desks but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The comfy floor cushions will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. I would love to get this project funded to offer these options to my students.
