My students come to school full of life and ready to learn! Just like adults get tired of sitting in hard chairs all day, students do too! They need more flexible/comfortable seating options to enhance student engagement and learning. Studies show that students learn better when they are physically active and comfortable. Students are able to bounce on an exercise ball, sit, stand, kneel, etc. All of these options will give my students the opportunity to sit comfortably and move around while they are learning. For me, it is very important to use all the options of flexible sitting to activate the desire to enter my classroom to learn and grow. They will be using the lap desks to read independently or with partners, to write wonderful compositions or to collaborate with peers. I'm certain that this will encourage them to read, read and read! The Bouncing Chair Fidget Bands will be used by my Autistic and Hyperactive babies, perfect for sensory stimuli. My intention is to reach all my students, not a select group. The wobble cushions! Ah, the wobble cushions! I love those! They give students the opportunity to move in the same area and will be used with the lap desks or if the students choose to stay at their desks. The same with the Yoga balls. The Bean bags are more for relaxing. Some students will need a time out to relax, concentrate and be ready to come out to work! And more rugs! More options! I cannot wait to see all of the things we can do with flexible seating!
