These flexible seats will enhance the comfort of our classroom. My classroom library is a place where my students really enjoy reading independently. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent reading, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. They can choose to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with books, or sitting or laying on the floor. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed that when students are given a choice in their seating they respond with enthusiasm and truly enjoy reading more. My students are noticeably more engaged in their reading and less disruptive to their peers and our classroom environment when they are given a choice of where to work. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options that will enhance their reading as they are starting to read for comprehension. The stacking stools are the perfect height and will allow students to sit at desks or tables while allowing for some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for all students and especially for the students that just need to get the wiggles out. The comfy adjustable floor stadium seats will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are colorful, lightweight, functional and can be easily moved and used in many areas of the classroom. Having choice can positively affect my student's reading and the overall environment or our classroom and having additional options will help us enjoy reading even more!
