Our Language Arts classroom set employs the concept of Flexible Seating. This means that students make a daily choice about where to sit in our classroom so that their best learning can occur.

Why Flexible Seating?

• Students are in charge of making positive choices for their learning.
• Students are motivated by having the power to choose.
• Students are engaged in their work for longer periods of time.
• More classroom space for students to move and collaborate.
• Students are more comfortable, which leads to increased focus.

What Flexible Seating looks like:

• Students standing at tall tables
• Students sitting on the floor
• Students using yoga balls
• Students spreading out on yoga mats
• Students sittting on business chairs
• Students working under tables

• Students comfortably engaged in work
