Students need to be able to move around during the school day. When using flexible seating, the students are allowed to rock, lean, stand, etc. which in turn keeps them more alert because it increases oxygen to the brain. Having a choice in seating allows the students to feel empowered and will enable them to have some control over their environment. When allowing students to have an option, it will let them choose their positions and location within the classroom environment. Manipulatives help students learn by allowing them to move from concrete experiences to abstract reasoning. Manipulatives can be important tools in helping students to think and reason in more meaningful ways. Being a first year teacher, I am unable to supply all of these needed materials for the different learning styles of all my special education students.
