Last year presented me with a new challenge; kindergarten students in desks. As means to keep my k kids socially distanced and still keep them engaged in their learning, I turned to flexible seating. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Currently, my students can choose scoop seats or wobble cushions. I would like to add to the choices my students have for flexible seating. Making sure students 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. 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 or tables. 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 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! The portable lap desks will be an option for written or Chromebook work helping to engage my students. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. 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!
