My Project

Flexible seating allows students to make choices in their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students have a few flexible options, but they mostly sit at their desks in chairs. 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 wobble chairs, floor seats, lap desks and other products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.

The wobble stools will allow students to sit at desks/tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The comfy floor seats and the lap desks will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of 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!
