Flexible seating seems like the latest fad but it truly makes a difference in learning. When students get a say and are able to make a choice that is most comfortable for them, they exceed expectations. In my classroom, I want students to have a choice and to be able to take ownership in their education. I'm really looking forward to providing my students with new opportunities in my classroom. The items that I have chosen for my classroom will allow students to feel comfortable and empowered. By having a place that is comfortable for them, they will harness their creative energy and use that to help them learn and be successful in fifth grade. Exercise balls and wiggle seats will allow students the opportunity to move while working in a way that is comfortable for them and not distracting for other students. Tall stools will provide students will a comfortable seat at a tall counter or table that is in a different position and will allow them to have a different perspective on their work. Shorter stools will give them the opportunity to work at a regular table but still give them a different support than regular chairs. A bench will give my students the opportunity to sit up higher when we're at the rug in case that's not something that is comfortable for them. Finally, clipboards will provide students with a surface to work while they are using different forms of seating. I'm really looking forward to providing my students with new opportunities in my classroom.
