Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent practice 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 as: sitting in a rocking chair or lounge chair in the reading area, sitting under tables with clip boards, sitting at a table on the yoga ball chair, sitting in a bungee chair with a clipboard, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. 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.
