I would love to provide a few flexible seating options in my first grade classroom. Our classroom currently has no seating options besides their desks. Flexible seating keeps our kids focused and more engaged. A study from the University of Minnesota found that students participated 48 percent more in discussions in a classroom with collaborative group seating than traditional seating. It also improved their performance on test scores. Students also feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment. Thank you for all of your help. You all make a huge difference in our students lives.
