Flexible seating would give my students the choice on how they can best learn. My students have behavior and social/emotional needs that we work on daily. My students love to move around and have a very hard time with sitting still. The students in my class tend to work best when given options. The items on my list would allow my students to pick a work area that would best meet their needs. 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. When given options of where to sit in the classroom such as under the table, next to my desk, on the floor, and with a clip board, I can see that they are more focused on their work and not so much on moving around. I believe that the items on my list will be great for all ages. I teach grades K-5 and this will give us a great variety of seating. Through research I have found that students with behavior and emotional issues work best when given flexible seating and meeting sensory needs first.
