My 7th grade students have 80 minute math and english blocks every day, and many struggle to stay focused in a traditional desk and chair setting. My hope is to bring in materials that will keep them moving without disrupting the class, and keeping their brains on track. Currently, my students are sitting in desks with chairs that don't move. I have been working on bringing in ball chairs, wiggle seats, bouncing foot rests, standing balance disks, and hand fidgets to meet all movement needs with the desks that are available to me.
I am always working to keep students interested and focused for 80 minutes each day, while meeting their academic, social, emotional, and movement needs.
I am excited to see the changes in student behavior and academic success as am able to bring these materials into the classroom.
