Beanbag chairs and a rocking chair will offer workspace options along with the plastic chairs we have. They will help my students feel more comfortable, which will enable them to focus on the work at hand. Students will use the options when they read and write independently or with others. Students will have the opportunity to sit in alternative seating when they partner for math workstations or independent work
Students are more engaged and focused when they have the opportunity to choose a working environment. Adding a couple of new beanbag and rocking chair options will offer more choices or students. Beanbag chairs and rocking chairs make one feel safe and secure. More comfortable choices promotes better feelings about one's self, better focus, and better products.
Also, I feel that providing the students with opportunities to make choices is helping them prepare for real life. Making good choices is a life long skill. Being able to make good choices about where to work and what makes them comfortable and productive will assist them throughout their school and work careers.
