My students are caring, inquisitive and eager little first graders. They excel when provided with the opportunity to make choices that best work for them and allow them to take ownership of their learning. During our whole group and independent work they love the ability to choose their seating option they feel will help them focus best. Making sure students are comfortable is essential in motivating them and I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given the opportunity to make choices for themselves. They are more engaged, almost always make good choices about where they sit, and get more of their work completed than when they are simply sitting at a student desk.
