Flexible seating has so many benefits! I want my students to be comfortable which will allow them to stay focused and be more productive. Flexible seating will also encourage my students to take turns with their classmates as they use the different seating options. This will help build a friendly classroom environment. The Wobble Chairs are very beneficial to those students who get fidgety and restless. Flexible seating helps increase physical activity in the classroom, and research shows that increased physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. Since the school I work at is a Montessori school, you will not find rows of desks. My students roll out rugs to work with the Montessori materials. The learning environment of my classroom is unique to meet the needs of my students, and I know that adding the flexible seating to my classroom will also help meet those needs. If you are not familiar with flexible seating, I would highly recommend doing some research. You will be amazed! Thank you so much for your donation. My students will absolutely love the new seating!
