Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Throughout the day, students will move about the room. During our mini lessons students gather at our rug then they move to independent work. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting on the floor with a lap desk or clip boards, or using scoop chairs on the floor. 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 less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work. I have been collecting flexible seating items over the past couple of years. I just need a few of these items to help tie everything together. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The comfy floor seats will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. The high top table will be used for conferences with my students during reading and writing. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will tie everything together and allow more engagement and less disruption during the school day! Please help me meet my students learning needs!
