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: at different tables, sitting on a couch or recliner, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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 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 desk. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are 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. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more! The items I have chosen, I have tried out in other classrooms and could not be more excited to implement them in my classroom as well! Wobble stools, exercise ball chairs, floor pillows, stability discs, and a floor rug, help give the students choices to help make their brain grow and find out which seating area is best for their learning.
