Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work 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 at different tables, sitting under tables, or sitting or laying on the floor. 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.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices, get their energy out by using the sports balls, and using the headphones to engage that 21st century learning. The seats and the balls will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The headphones are needed since my students cannot afford to buy them and they are needed for the programs that are being used.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
