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. Making sure 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 are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The flexibility balance balls will allow the students to feel more comfortable and will allow for some movement that many students crave while they are learning. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The bean bags can be easily moved to different areas of our classroom to give students different options in seating when desired. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed!
