They are able sit at different tables, under tables, and around the room using beanbags during independent time. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them to partake in their own learning. I have already noticed a difference in my students when I incorporated different seating during their choice times. When they are given a choice in their seating, they are more engaged and get more work completed then when they are just sitting at their desks.
