Students will utilize the flexible seating to benefit their learning style. Although some students prefer a standard desk and chair, other students are finding it hard to sit still for the duration of a class period. With the wobble chairs, students will be able to move freely without tipping or falling out of their chair. Students often times enjoy sitting on the ground, and with the floor seating option they will be able to sit near the front to participate, observe, and engage in group discussion.
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 and who to work by. The increased blood flow in the brain, caused by the active students, allows to keep young minds alert and focused.
