Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning 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 at different tables using a variety of seating options such as buckets, old milk crates, tires with cushions and wobble stools. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting in a regular chair. We would love to have more options to choose from that are comfortable and stable. 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!
