Where do you choose to get your work done? A coffee shop, kitchen table, or even your couch may come to mind. As adults, we have the opportunity to work wherever we can focus and get everything done. Don't our kids deserve that same choice?
Flexible seating gives students the choice to sit where they work best, and it's been proven to be healthier for kids. According to research, providing flexible seating options for kids burns more calories, improves their posture and core strength, and helps oxygen flow to the brain.
During this past school year, I noticed that my students worked the hardest during writing time. This was the time of the day that I let them choose where to sit and played music while they were working. I had kids all over the room - laying on the floor, sitting against a wall, even standing at their tables. It was by far their favorite and most focused time of the day. Providing flexible seating in my classroom will give that experience for my students throughout the day. It will help them stay motivated, comfortable, and focused to get their best work done.
