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 in a folding chair, sitting under their desks with or without lapboards, or sitting/laying on a shaggy rug. Making sure my 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 desks.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work, less disruptive of their peers, and more easily able to regulate their emotions when given a choice of where to work. 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 and balance balls will allow students to sit at desks or tables and allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get their wiggles out! They can also be used as an alternative chair when needed! Both of these options are lightweight and can be easily moved to be used in many areas of the classroom.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work, behavior, and emotional regulation and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
