Flexible seating options allow children the freedom to learn how they are most comfortable. These flexible seating choices will allow my students to explore which way they learn best. The wobble stools that I selected will keep students engaged in their learning, while still be able to get their wiggles out. The lap desks that I selected will allow the students the option to choose how they want to complete their writing and independent work. My students are more engaged in their work when they are able to make a choice of how and where they want to sit. I have watched how the attention to task has improved when giving children the freedom to move. Young children are not meant to sit at a chair and desk all day. Let them WIGGLE!
