Flexible seating has been proven by research to increase attention and learning retention for students, especially those who are extra wiggly! Out of my 17 students, all of whom are just as wiggly as children should be, about 50% have attention or learning needs. The following items, such as wobble chairs, wobble cushions and bouncy bands for chairs will help channel the excess energy out of their bodies in order for them to focus on their learning. The wobble seats, for example, allows the student to move around in their seats without disturbing others around them. The bouncy bands allows student to bounce their feet on them quietly instead of kicking the table legs to release excess energy. The carpet, lap desks, and bean bags will give students options to choose the most comfortable place for them to learn other than a hard chair at a table or desk. These flexible seating options will give my students the chance to take their minds off of needing to move their bodies, and focus all of their attention on the learning at hand. Not only will it help them focus, it will make learning fun too! These flexible seating options will help keep their growing bodies moving and expanding minds learning!
