Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they 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 different tables, sitting on the floor with a floor desk, sitting with a backrest or pillow in the cool down corner, or standing at the stand-up tables. Making sure they are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. If they feel frustrated or sad, they have the option to take a break. They are taught to identify their feelings, take deep breaths and choose a self-regulation strategy. 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 by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools and sensory cushions will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! Thanks for helping my classroom!
