My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of 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 are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. 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.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

The 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 help children who need to fidget or get other sensory input in order to concentrate and engage in learning. Studies show that the rocking motion of rocking chairs soothes the brain and makes it easier for those with ADHD to concentrate. It lets the body release some of that fidgety energy, letting the brain focus on the task at hand. The portable lap desks help make doing work, like writing/drawing/reading/being on a computer, while on the floor easier and more comfortable. 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 seating options will help their learning.
