In 2007 a study by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester conducted a research study that found when students are able to bounce or move in their seats during a task they are more attentive because they are burning excess energy. This project will help me make my classroom a more comfortable and engaging environment. Many students in my classroom have ADHD and even those who do not are third graders! Of course they have a hard time staying focused. With the wobble seats and chair bands my students will be engaging in something called active sitting. This movement can help channel energy and keep students focused and on task!
