My students receive a curriculum that will help them succeed in the 21st century, but due to limited seating options my students aren't able to choose a space that will best meet their needs. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Allowing students to choose where they sit helps them to become independent learners, and gives them the tools they need to engage fully and comfortably in their learning. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and more responsible 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 to make more effective learning choices, reinforce responsibility, and independence. The wobble stools and balance ball chairs will allow students to sit while still allowing for some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chairs as needed! The beanbag chairs will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom
