Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, students 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 at their own desk, at different tables, or on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. Students are more productive 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 desks. Brainstorming ideas, collaborating on mind maps, and drawing out math strategies are just some of the activities students will have the opportunity to collaborate on with the whiteboard tables. Students will have so much fun using the whiteboard tables, they will forget they are learning! Students will utilize the balance ball seats while working at the desktop computers or laptops. Being able to move while actively working on a project involving technology will help students to focus on their work. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
