My students need flexible seating options, such as three Gaiam Stay-N-Play Balance Balls, a CanDo Exercise Ball and five plastic stools, to provide them with options and ownership of their education. If you take a look into any classroom that utilizes flexible seating, the first thing you will notice are happy and determined faces. Studies show that providing choice in the classroom increases motivation exponentially. This is exactly the kind of environment I am trying to provide for my students.
As a first year teacher, I want to do everything I possibly can to serve my students to the best of my ability straight off the bat. By giving choices in their seating, my students will feel at home in the classroom. This feeling of comfort and safety is extremely important for these kiddos who often do not get that at home.
