These materials will help my students be able to listen more attentively and focus because they will be able to move. Kinesthetic movement is so important in helping students process academic information and in relieving stress caused by cortisol in the brain as students are learning. My first graders have had much of their learning take place remotely and/ or during periods of quarantine. Which means that many of them have not had the repeated exposures to practice prolonged listening and learning. A chair that encourages movement helps students release extra energy.
