My class of third-graders is full of energy and love to move while they learn. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. While we do take many wiggle breaks during the day, it's hard to sit in the same desk chair all day, and it's especially difficult for a growing 8 or 9 year old. With flexible seating during independent work times, students can choose a location in the classroom that works best for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with a whiteboard as a hard surface to write on, or sitting or lying on the floor. 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. Whether a student needs a whole other seating option, like a wobble stool, something they can fidget with quietly, like a chair band or wiggle cushion, or something as simple as a clipboard to write on while they lean against the wall on the floor, all the students in my classroom will directly benefit from more flexible seating options.
