Our classroom offers "flexible seating". This means the students are responsible for choosing where they can complete focused work. No assigned desks here!
While there is enough desk or table space to accommodate each student, there are also plenty of other work spaces to meet the needs of the variety of learners we have.

Like stretching out? Grab a clipboard and find a place on the floor! Prefer kneeling? Find a pillow at the little blue table. Feel like standing? We have a desk for that! Many enjoy working at the couches using lap desks, too!
We have a few unique chair options as well! Hokki stools (blue) allow students to rock back and forth, wiggling in an acceptable way. The ball chair gives children the opportunity to bounce up and down. Inflated wedge seats allow students to move without disrupting others.
Using the couches, pillows and lawn chairs, we can all gather together in our couch area "living room" for a story or meeting.
Exposing students to flexible seating challenges them to think about themselves as learners. Where am I most comfortable? Where can I get focused work done? Where can I do my very best?
Empowering our little learners to take responsibility for their learning is key and can increase engagement. Where does your child prefer to work?

ReplyDeleteIt has been fun encouraging the kids to try out different locations and seats! It's exciting to see the boys and girls already thinking about where they learn best. Setting these kids up for success!
