Flexible seating will allow my students to take charge of their learning by making the choices that work best for them. During independent work times students will choose their "perfect learning spot." Currently my students work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables, or sitting/laying on the floor, though I do not currently have clipboards for them to work on. The products that I have selected 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 and work at a desk while still allowing some movement. The comfy floor cushions will allow for more comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight, can be used in many areas of the classroom, and are easily stored. We utilize technology in our classroom often, however, we do not have enough headphones for each student. This makes the room loud, and distracts them from paying attention to their own screen. The items on my wish list will making my students more comfortable, which is an essential component in motivating them. I anticipate an increase in productivity when students are given a more comfortable choice in their seating. They will be more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. Being 7 or 8, my students need to get their "wiggles" out, especially those who have been diagnosed with ADHD. I want to offer them a safer, less disruptive option to succeed in school. Thank you for your consideration.
