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 in a variety of locations in our room such as: sitting at tables, lying on the carpet, using clipboards in the reading, writing, and math centers, and working together using wipe off boards while sitting in "big" chairs. 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 and are more engaged in what they are working on.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The stack stools will allow students to sit at their tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
The balance balls will allow the students movement to increase blood flow to the brain, helping to improve concentration and increase focus, reduce restlessness, and prevent boredom and distractions in class by keeping the body active and the mind engaged!
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!
