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 on the floor with lap desks, or finding a chair elsewhere in the room. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them to work to their full potential! When students are given choice, whether it is what activity they are choosing or where they are seated, they flourish with the given authority over their personal learning. They know there are high expectations and they utilize the choice opportunity to be able to work, resulting in more engaged and focused learning! My goal is to provide students with a comfortable & flexible space AT their desks, and when given a choice to learn around the room!
