Flexible seating will allow my students to fully engage in not only a whole group lesson but also through their station work. Children of any age deserve to be fully comfortable and be allowed extra wiggles throughout their day. My students and I will both be extremely grateful with the opportunity for extra movement in our room. I know that my students will love to be given the extra choices of where to sit in our room with this new seating! Using this new seating, I plan to have my students pick their seat during our station work for both math and reading.
