Hello! Welcome to our classroom. We are a class that supports each other and gives the gift of choices all day, every day. Flexible seating is one of the choices that my students and I take very seriously. Everyone should feel like their space is a place that stimulates them to do their best, is welcoming, and provides a space to feel safe in learning and growing. Wobble seating provides movement to students and gives the movement they need without losing focus on learning. The exercise balls will help students improve muscle tone and balance while being more engaged in their learning. Allowing students the chance to choose a seat provides them with independence and lets them take ownership of their own learning. I want my classroom to reflect my love of teaching. I want my students to be comfortable and secure in their classroom environment. Flexible seating is one way to ensure that this will happen.
