Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. Research shows that giving students the power of choice,
gives students ownership over their participation and engagement in the classroom. Flexible seating can include a variety of options including scoop rockers, pillows, disc o’ sits, standing desks, therapy balls, and many more options. Some professionals are beginning to note that students are often more engaged in their learning when flexible seating options are offered within the classroom.
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 ball seats will allow students to sit at tables but will still allow 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 beanbag chair will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options while children are engaged in our Library area. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom as well.
I have researched the positive affects of flexible seating option and hope that these items will help my class grow even more! I am excited to add these options to my classroom and give my students more options to actively engage in learning.
