This year I am going to implement flexible seating in my classroom. I want my classroom to be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. This simply cannot be done when kids are sitting in rows of desks all day. This is why I want to use flexible seating in my classroom. Studies have shown that physical activity increases academic learning. The wobble chairs and stools allow for the students to move while they are working, therefore increasing academic productivity.
Students will be able to choose each day, the seat which allows them to do their best work. By doing this, they are taking responsibility for their choices and learning what seats work for them and which ones are maybe not the best. So, even at this young age they are being responsible for their own learning.
