Writing is a part of our daily routine. Working in the same seat daily gets monotonous. By donating to this project, my students will be able to collaborate and inspire each other in small groups. The flexible seating options will help to foster creativity and provide motivation for my students. Flexible seating also allows for choice during independent writing time which promotes student engagement. This student choice and movement in the classroom will have a positive effect on my students and provide the motivation they need to become great writers.
