Many of my students are learning how to be in a structured setting for the first time in their lives! At the young age of 4, some who turned 4 literally weeks before the school year, struggle to stay focused. As a full-day Pre-K program, I am happy to show them what a full day of school will look like. At 4-years-old I really don't require them to sit through long presentations, but they are required to sit through a small-group session, typically no more than 20 minutes. However, this is a long period for a kid who has never had to do such a thing! The Flexible Seating (wobble chairs and balance balls) I am wishing for will allow them to have a natural wiggle, giving them the sense of fidgeting, but keeping them engaged with their teacher at the same time!
