My Project

Flexible seating allows my students to read and work collaboratively in a comfortable manner. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room. You will see them sitting under tables, on the rug or the floor or on the two bean bags. I know that they would love to have their own personal comfy seat!

Making sure students are comfortable and able to choose where they work is an essential component in motivating them to read and complete their work.

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.

The product that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. These will be extremely beneficial for my students as they are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more.

My students also love the Spot books! Reading each of these books will help my students with their social emotional learning during our morning meeting while choosing their seating.
