My Students

Our class is filled with creative students who are eager to learn! As their teacher, I want to be able to allow them the freedom to sit, stand and learn in any way that benefits them!

Flexible seating has been a huge hit in our classroom and my students love having the responsibility to choose where they sit that would best benefit their learning.

These students love to learn and we want to foster creativity and tap into each individual!

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 under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board.

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.

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.
