I would like to provide my students with flexible comfortable seating during small group and whole group instruction, teamwork and independent work. I provide my students with the freedom to sit around the classroom during independent reading and find a nook that is comfortable and conducive to helping them focus during reading workshop. Some students thrive while sitting and reading at their desk. Other students need to move around and find a spot they like which usually ends up being sitting on the floor. The floor seats, wobble cushions and balance balls would help my students have a comfortable seating arrangement that would ultimately help enhance their reading experience and focus while improving their academic learning. Also, flexible seating provides them with some control over their learning and furthers their independence! During teamwork the floor chairs will help my students focus and be comfortable while participating in group club reading, partner and group discussions. My long-term plan is eventually to bring flexible seating to all the subjects. Please help me help my little ones find that special comfortable spot that will make them feel warm and cozy in the inside and transfer that feeling to their learning!
