Early learners have the need to move, so they stay engaged and focused. Providing flexible seating options will meet this need. My students will now have the ability to wiggle during small groups and center time, and will stay engaged and focused. This provides an increase in their learning.
Flexible seating will make a difference because student needs will be met. Like adults, children work best when they are comfortable. They will have choices and will remain motivated to learn with less disruption to their friends. When given choices, a student gains responsibility for doing the right thing. In addition, this provides freedom for student choice.
I chose these options because they are easily moveable in the classroom, and will be easily stacked and stored at the end of the day. I will add a padded cushion to the top of the crates which will also provide a storage space for small group materials.
