My students need flexible seating to increase focus, collaboration, communication, and problem solving. Last year I allowed students to sit most of the time out of their desk and students loved it. They worked for it and enjoyed the freedom to pick where they learned best. However, I did not have a variety of seats so most just sat on the ground. This year I want to provide more comfortable spots to learn and more choices. I am asking for a variety of seating furniture such as yoga balls, wobble cushions and stools, and foam mats that will provide students with opportunity to move and sit to learn where they learn best. Research has shown that flexible seating gives students choice and this choice increases engagement and motivation. I am also asking for water bottles as I know students always need water to fuel their energy to learn!
