I want to add Flexible seating to be used in a STEM center, which will allows students to have fun while being comfy. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, 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 student’s work ethic and quality of work when they are given a choice in their seating. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work when they are given a fun place to sit other than a standard chair. The seating that I have selected will help give my students additional seating options to help them have fun. The bean bags will allow students to sit in positions that enhance their ability to learn. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative place to sit if needed! They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. Hands on learning is SO much more fun and motivating than pencil and paper. I want to add new hands on STEM activities and manipulatives to my classroom in order to provide a variety of choices for my students. When students are able to choose what they are going to do, they take ownership of it and tend to do a much better job. I have seen how seating choices and hands on learning can positively affect my students work and their self-esteem. I believe that the additional options will help us grow happy students that find school a great place to be!
