This flexible seating allows students to make choices in their learning environment 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, using clipboards, sitting at our rug, grouping off at a small group table, standing at our stand desks, and using parent-donated wobble stools. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed my students work harder with more stamina when they are given the choice of where and how they are "sitting" when they work. 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. The wobble stools allow for slight bouncing to take away the need to move around outside of their workspace, the cushions can be used around the room to make their work time more comfortable, and the sensory seats for their chairs will be helpful to students who need to wiggle just a bit and strengthen their core while they work!
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!
