Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, my students 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, scoop chairs, and sitting on pillows and using clipboards. Making sure students are comfortable is a key component to self-motivation.
When my students are provided the opportunity to choose their seating, they are more engaged in their learning.
The flexible seating that I have selected for this project will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools will allow students to sit at a desk but will still allow some movement. These wobble stools will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The feet bands will do the same for my students.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional seating options will help us grow even more!
