Some children need to move! We've all had (or were) those kids who can't sit still; those that seem tortured by traditional chairs and desks.
Flexible seating is a the way to make our learning environments fit our students - rather than the other way around. Last year, I dipped my toe into the flexible seating world by taking away individual desks, and allowing my students to choose where they sat. This year (my 17th!), I want to give my students the gift of comfort and choice in their learning environment.
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Last year, I noticed that my students were able to focus for longer periods of time than previous classes. I attribute the difference to choice. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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.
