Just like adults get tired of sitting in hard chairs all day, students do too! They need more flexible/comfortable seating options to enhance student engagement and learning. Studies show that students learn better when they are physically active and comfortable. By having alternative seating in the classroom, students are free to make a choice of which seating arrangement is best for their learning. Having choices such as bean bag chairs, spot markers, padded crate chairs, or balancing pods can allow students to be comfortable and move while still being engaged in learning. By giving them a choice, I am helping them begin to learn how to make appropriate choices to make them more successful in the classroom. This also helps reduce the amount of behavior problems that can happen in the classroom. By having alternative seating, students have their own space to spread out and have room to work. Having alternative seating also helps with engagement. By having higher engagement, students will be more successful. By donating you will help the learning environment of our classroom by giving my students more choice. By giving the more choice, it will help empower them to make better choices and become more successful in the classroom.
