My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting on the carpet with clip boards, or using a lap desk while sitting on the floor. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk in a regular still chair.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

These comfy floor seats and floor cushions will allow my students to sit, relax, and maintain focus on their assignments. The more comfortable the students are, the more they are encouraged to stay in their seat and not walk around the classroom off-task.

I have seen the increase in productivity thus far, and I hope to support my young learners even more with movement integration!
