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 and sitting or laying on the floor with a book to be able to write on their papers. 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 desk. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The ergonomic stools will allow students to sit at their desk or tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. The clipboards will allow the students to sit anywhere in the room and have something to write on. The surf portable lap desk will allow my students to pick a spot in the room and as well have a stable desk to write on.
