Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, students are on a rotating schedule for equal opportunities in choosing locations in the classroom that work for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as at different tables or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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 can only sit at their desks.
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 a desk or at table while still allowing 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 Soft Seats will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom; the different colors can even help for management purposes in organizing small groups.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work as well as their sense of responsibility, and I hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
