Flexible seating such as beanbag seats will make a difference in my students learning by providing an alternative to the traditional chair and desk. For example, I will teach my lesson and then the students can go off and explore on their own or with a partner in their own comfy and cozy space. For example, I would teach a mini lesson and after the lesson students will break out into small groups to complete the lesson. Currently in my classroom I do not have as many flexible seating options, but if you help me, my dream of providing my students more flexible seating options will come true. Some students will have the opportunity to sit and work on the rug, some on the bean bags and other will sit at the tables, but it would be their choice.
