Many flexible seating options stimulate students’ sense of touch. This type of stimulation can help children focus and process information.Lessons in a Montessori classroom are conducted sitting on the ground at the students' rug or workspace. An uncomfortable student, is a distracted and unproductive student. Alternative seating options will enhance student focus and learning by providing an outlet for movement during instruction. I believe in keeping the focus on what's really important: the students. If student motivation and higher engagement is truly the desired end game, then we must adapt right along with our students in our classrooms.
