Flexible seating options will help create a home away from home for my students. Last year, I bought a pink table and a blue fluffy chair. Unfortunately, only a few students were able to use them throughout the day. Those two items made a drastic change to some of my students. I had a student who hated school, entered my classroom crying and mad. After sitting in the fluffy chair for a couple of days, his whole mood and view of school change. He began to love my class. I would like to provide that option and experience to all of my students. Having enough flexible seating options such as soft seats, balance balls, wobble chairs and stools. This will transform my classroom in ways I can only imagine. I strongly believe that children learn better when they feel comfortable.
