Help me give my students an engaging learning experience with the incorporation of flexible seating in my classroom to help inspire movement and creativity!
I teach fourth graders in a public elementary setting. Our school is rich in heritage and culture in which grandparents have attended the school that their grandchildren currently attend. My students range in academic levels from gifted to special education and everything in between. In my classroom, I have built a community of learners that support one another and that is due to the focus on Morning Meetings and the Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS).
My students are out of the box thinkers and engineers.
They are self driven and creative. I foster that sense of learning by allowing students to explore their thinking and reflect on a daily basis.
My Project
It's no secret that students like to move. Flexible seating is a way to allow students to move while engaging in learning. By reducing sedentary periods of time in the classroom, I plan to use yoga balls, bar stools, and tall tables for students to explore their learning style in an active setting.
Pairing up and working in small groups while using flexible seating allows for sharper focus and processing.
This sensory way of sitting creates simulation for students with ADD, ADHD, learning disabilities, and students with communication deficiencies. Not only does flexible seating look fun, it is FUN! Students stress levels go down and they enjoy learning!
