3rd Grade Flexible Seating
Funded Sep 29, 2022I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your generous donation of flexible seating for our classroom! The students were extremely excited when the flex chairs, stools, and flexible round table arrived. Students could not wait to move around the room and use the new furniture. Our class will be using all the wonderful flexible seating throughout our Math and Science blocks. Through your donations students have the ability to do their best work in a comfortable setting that they feel works best for them. A flexible seating classroom is one in which traditional seating charts are replaced with seating arrangements that allow the students to sit where they choose. Flexible seating keeps our kids focused and more engaged. Studies have found that students participated 48 percent more in discussions in a classroom with collaborative group seating than traditional seating. It also improved their performance on test scores and we are seeing just that right in our very own classroom. Students are eager to enter the classroom and learn in a space that feels best for them. We have noticed a change in behaviors of our students as well, students are calm, focused, and productive and less restless when working. Students learn better when they have a chance to work together. Traditional desks in rows isolate students from each other. From your donations, the Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. In turn, this burns more calories and increases metabolism. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused. We can't thank you enough for helping inspire our student learners.”
