Flexible seating is a good way to help students engage in the tasks put before them. By being able to move and wiggle while working, my students will be able to successfully complete assignments without losing focus. Students with excess energy often disrupt their peers and find themselves off-task. If they are able to wiggle and squirm in their seats, that energy can be channeled positively.
Allowing students to figure out how they work best is a skill that will benefit them for years to come. Students will have the opportunity to try out the different seating options available in the classroom and then decide where they are most comfortable working. For years, I have watched students as they wiggle and squirm in hard plastic seats. The use of wobble stools and bouncy bands for both chairs and desks will give my students the freedom to move without disrupting a neighbor or losing track of their own assignments. If my students are able to wiggle, squirm, AND work, they will be able to learn and grow to their potential.
