Studies, like Effects of a Classroom-Based Program on Physical Activity and On-Task Behavior, show children need to get their blood pumping throughout the day, and giving them the ability to stand up, lay down, or hop on an exercise ball is highly effective. Flexible seating benefits are abundant and can result in the mental and physical improvement of many students.
In my classroom we are limited on space so these chairs, including bean bags and ball chairs, would be easy to move around to different areas to accommodate the students needs. I want the chairs to be easy to move around. I am teaching behavior management all day to these students so it is important they have a variety of seating options to keep them engaged. Flexible seating benefits are profound, due to the fact that the classroom is reorganized to make it more student-centered. Children no longer enter into your classroom and feel like they are out of bounds or that they don’t have a specific space.
