Flexible seating will allow my students to choose where they would like to sit and allow them to learn in the way that they learn best. I will incorporate tables into my classroom and have stools and yoga balls surrounding those tables, which I have already bought. With this project, I will buy additional seating options such as wobble stools and lap trays which will allow them to sit or lie on the ground. All of these options will allow students to have spaces within the room to work, rather than sitting in traditional desks, which is not appropriate and ideal for all students.
