Students feel empowered when given a control of their environment and have a say as to where they can sit. Flexible seating allows my students to choose where they work and with whom. It also allows them to change their location and positions as needed. Some students struggle with sitting still and can sometimes hurt themselves, if not properly sitting still in a traditional chair. Allowing them to sit on the floor with a floor seat at a lower table will help those who need to move around a bit as they work. This flexible seating will help stimulate students' sense of touch. This type of stimulation can help children focus and process information. Sensory input is especially helpful for many of my students who have a learning disability. An uncomfortable student, is a distracted and unproductive student. It will keep their young minds more alert and focused. Having options, will encourage students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive. There is no better way to support my students, then by providing for their needs. However having this floor table and cushions will help make learning fun. The benefits far outweigh any negatives and will result in a more active, engaged, enthusiastic, and relaxed classroom of students.
