Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. Currently, my students have the choice to sit at their desks, the floor, or the back counter of my room. This past school year I taught in my switch partner's room for half the day and noticed amazing difference in the students when they have more options where to work. 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 desk.
The products that I have selected will give my students additional seating options and make my classroom feel secure. The futon will sit in the front of my classroom and be able to hold 2-3 students a class period. This will help motivate my students to work hard independently and stay focused on instruction. Other items on the list will tie my classroom together to feel like a home while staying organized.
