Flexible Seating for Flexible Learners

Help me give my students more flexible seating options for my flexible classroom!

My Project

Flexible seating especially with 5th graders allows them to have more autonomy and control over their learning. 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: sitting on yoga balls or wobble stools or sitting or lying on the floor working.

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.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The stools will allow students to sit at desks/higher tables but will still allow some movement. The floor rocker and jellyfish stools will also allow for movement in the classroom.

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!
