Students who sit in their desk all day often get sleepy and do not pay attention. Flexible seating allows my students to sit at their desk, on the floor, or in our classroom library to engage in learning from a different perspective. As a first year teacher, I'm looking to give my students the best opportunities to learn.
Flexible seating, such as rocking, bouncing, wobbling, or leaning, increases the flow of oxygen to the brain and improves core strength. In turn, this flexible seating burn calories and increase metabolism. I want my students to be alert when I need them to be, and relaxed during other times. Giving my students flexible seating will allow them to learn in different environments using different tools.
Flexible seating will give my students a chance to make a decision in the classroom, as well as keeping them engaged in the learning process. Giving my students flexibility during such a structured and rigid time in their lives may be the best thing I can do for them all day.
