My classroom is full of energetic First Graders. I encourage a lot of movement in the classroom because nobody likes to sit still. I like to empower my students to have choice in everything they do.
By having alternative seating in the classroom students are free to make a choice of which seating arrangement is best for their learning.
By giving them a choice such as a balance ball chairs or a stool, I am helping them begin to learn how to make appropriate choices to make them more successful in the classroom. This also helps reduce the amount of behavior problems that can happen in the classroom. By having alternative seating students have their own space to spread out and have room to work. Having alternative seating also helps with engagement. By having higher engagement students will be more successful.
