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 choose to work under tables, on the tile floor, anywhere that is not their desk and chair. 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.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The stools are easy to move and will allow groups of students to work anywhere in the room. The cushions of all types will help students be more comfortable when working on the floor for projects, computer assignments and reading. The rugs will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. 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!
