Flexible Seating in 7th Grade Math

Mrs. Tara Griffith has implemented a new seating in her classroom this year-flexible seating.  So far, the students are loving it.  Students have the option of choosing their seat every day and most days, everyone chooses a different seat.  Studies have been conducted with this type of seating and research has shown that students have increased motivation and engagement, they use up excess energy, burn more calories, and improve core strength and overall posture.  It's no surprise that physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior.
