Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that works best for them. During independent work times they choose a location Currently, my students are working in different locations in our classroom and most enjoy sitting on the floor which is why the rugs would be great for comfortable seating. Making sure that all of the students are comfortable is critical in keeping them comfortable and motivated. Their learning goals and objectives can be reached when they have a choice in where they are most comfortable to learn. 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. The products that I have selected will help my students grow, the comfy floor rugs and beanbag chairs will allow for additional comfortable floor options.
