To help enhance the learning of my students, I want my students to feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment. Flexible seating allows students to choose where they work and have choice in their positioning while learning. Students naturally need to move and flexible seating allows students to wobble, rock, bounce, learn or stand. The movement increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow and core strength. The bean bag chairs, the wobble stool and the rug will allow students different seating to learn. The laptop desks will help students be able to complete work on a hard surface in wherever they sit if it is not at a desk. This flexible seating will be placed in a room in which intervention and small group instruction will take place to increase the motivation to learn and reach their fullest potential. The seating will increase collaboration and communication to create a strong classroom learning community.
