My Project
Flexible seating is a classroom arrangement where students can choose from a variety of seating options. That is why I am requesting floor cushions, bean bag chairs, Lakeshore Indoor/Outdoor Floor Seats, and floor cushions. So they will not have to sit in traditional desks all day.
Some of the benefits of flexible seating for Kindergarten students are that young children naturally need to move.
Flexible seating lets them wiggle, shift, or stand, helping them stay focused. Also, choosing their seats builds decision-making skills and responsibility. Flexible seating improves Engagement. When kids are comfortable, they are more likely to participate and pay attention. Flexible seating provides different seating setups that can promote collaboration and positive interactions. Lastly, we know every child learns differently. Flexible seating helps accommodate various learning styles and sensory needs.
In short, flexible seating helps create a child-centered environment where kindergarteners can feel safe, comfortable, and ready to learn.
