Flexible Seating = Empowered Learning
Funded Jun 8, 2019
The students that I am currently servicing are thrilled to have seating options. They were super excited to see the new flexible seating in the classroom.
On a daily basis students are using the flexible seating options to enhance their learning during independent work time in reading and writing. The opportunity to choose a seat is really meeting the needs of all learners in the classroom. To benefit all students, they are all given the opportunity to take turns using the materials.
As we move on throughout the year, we will be engaging in guided reading groups. Using the flexible seating during that time will help students stay focused. It will be helpful as we move forward to continue to empower students in the learning process.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Sena
This classroom project was brought to life by Lakeshore Learning and 6 other donors.

Flexible seating is a key component to empowering students to be leaders of their own learning. Currently, my students have the opportunity to choose spots around the room to work (i.e. using lap desks, stools, or sitting under desks). By giving students the opportunity to choose where they want to work, it allows them to tap into their learning styles. My students are engaged when given the choice of where to work and they are less likely to disturb their peers. The products I have chosen will give the students comfortable choices for flexible seating which will enhance their motivation to learn. The comfy couch and pillows will allow for a cozy place to be productive. They can read their independent reading books or work on their writing. Students with a kinesthetic learning style will benefit from using the bouncy ball seat to focus their attention. My students are developing 21st century leadership skills and these products will enable them to be proactive when learning by having a choice of seating. Flexible Seating = Empowered Learning
