My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the best choices for them. During independent work, they choose a classroom locationm that works for them. Currently, my students work in various locations in our room, such as at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or lying on the floor. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed striking 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 I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.

All items will benefit some students who need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if required! The comfy floor seats and the beanbag chairs will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many classroom areas.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my student's work and demeanor, and I hope the additional options will help us grow even more!
