Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. It has been proven that when students are given an opportunity to sit in different places around the room and not just at desks they are more engaged, and get more work completed. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble chairs will allow students to sit at desk but will allow them to move as needed while working. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The inflatable chairs will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. Where students can go during center time to meet in small groups. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. The bouncy bands are great to discreetly soothes student anxiety, frustration, and hyperactivity. The stability balls can also be used as seating around the classroom but also help students to focus better when working at their desks. I have seen how flexible seating can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
