Flexible seating offers my students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During reading and writing workshops they are able to choose a location in the classroom that meets their needs. Currently my students are choosing to sit at different tables or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board or lap desk. At this time my students do not spend much time in our classroom library because it is lacking a rug and comfortable flexible seating. Making sure my students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. These flexible seating options and calming rug with allow my students opportunities to become more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools will allow students to sit at a table or independently, but will still allow for some movement. The beanbag chairs will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They can also be easily used in many other areas of the classroom. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and their eagerness to learn. These additional seating options will help us grow even more!
