Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they have the opportunity to choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as a different table, on a bench, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. 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. These wobble stools will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables, but will still allow 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 chair if needed! The differentiated comprehension cards will be a way to effectively meet the needs of lower, average, and higher leveled readers. All these important skills could still be learned and practiced, no matter the level of text.
