When you walk into a coffee shop or restaurant you are always given the option of where you want to sit and you typically choose a place that you feel the most comfortable. I want to incorporate flexible seating into my classroom so that my students also have that feeling of a safe environment and a place that they can work to their best ability. Bringing wobble chairs, yoga balls, recliner seats, and bouncing bands to my class will help my students become more productive learners, and will also prepare them for real world experiences where they have more choices,
By creating a classroom environment with more choices it gives the students a sense of ownership in their own education. Allowing students to wobble, rock, bounce, lean, or stand helps increase oxygen flow to the brain, as well as create more alert and focused minds. These different seating options will help increase collaboration, community, and a commitment to learning. I can't wait to see the looks on my kids faces when they have the option to choose where they would like to work, and still have fun learning at the same time!
