It is no secret that kindergarten students like to move. They bounce, wiggle, and NEED movement. I am wanting to introduce flexible seating in my classroom. Flexible seating encourages children to share supplies and different spaces. It also teaches students the importance of taking turns with the option to try new things. Giving students a choice each day on where and how they sit will help them stay relaxed, focused, and will lead to a productive learning environment where collaboration is present. “The students we share our classrooms with don’t know life without constant connectivity, Wi-Fi, and a global audience. Our classroom environments should be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. This simply cannot be done when kids are sitting in rows of desks all day.”
