Do you remember being in elementary school and having to sit at your desk all day to do your work? Well that does not happen in my class! My classroom seating runs off of a "flexible seating" program. 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: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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 at their desk. Therefore, the the flexible seating options that I have chosen are balance balls, wobble cushions and Bouncy bands. Each student will have their choice of the flexible seating items and use them daily.
