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 different tables or sitting / laying on the floor. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them, and 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 products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The wobble seats will allow for our standard chairs to be adapted for scholars who need additional sensory input in order to concentrate. The pillow seats will offer comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. The new one-piece rug will make a much more comfortable whole-group, small-group, and independent work space than our current carpet-square option, which gets shifted, uncomfortable, and distracting when small bodies get the wiggles.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow every day!
