Flexible seating will empower my students with a choice as to how they will be learning. We will use these seating options during independent learning time.
When my students are given a choice where and how they sit in the classroom I notice they are more invested in their learning and less likely to be distracted. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at their tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The comfy floor seats and wobble cushions will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. The lap desks will allow students to take their work anywhere in the classroom. They are all lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. The noise-canceling headphones will help those children who need a quiet room to work in and the chair bands will help those children who need to move while working quietly. I have seen how choice can positively affect my student's work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
