Flexible Seating: Motivates and Encourages students to do their best.

Help me give my students take charge of their learning with flexible seating options. Students that are able to have a choice in their learning are more motivated to succeed.

My Project

The students in my classroom love to take charge of their learning. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and choose the place in the classroom that they learn best. Currently, in my classroom students have a few places that they can sit at during independent work, including a rocking chair, pillows, and a few wobble stools.

Students are more productive and motivated to do their work when they are able to have a choice in their learning.

Something as simple as choosing where they sit makes a huge difference in their school day.

Students will benefit from the he products that I have selected because it will allow them to have more options for flexible seating during independent work. The other supplies requested will help students during their school day. The watercolors and craft set will allow them to make beautiful art projects and then center games will allow them to practice what they learned in a fun way.
