To incorporate flexible seating in my classroom I am hoping to provide my students with many items that will allow them to work on the floor, while standing, or while seated at a table or desk top. Wobble cushions will allow students some movement while sitting on the floor, while a wobble chair can allow them to move while in a seated position. Yoga mats can provide another option for sitting on the floor, and balance balls will provide an option to work at a table or desk. Flexible seating can increase students' attention spans and make them more actively engaged in the classroom. Allowing students to choose where they would like to work within the classroom helps them become independent and motivated learners as well.
