Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best 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, standing up, 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 then when they are sitting at a desk that was assigned to them.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.
The singular table with wheels and the chair that rocks will be a big hit because students can either make a larger group or work independently.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional option will help us grow even more!
