Brain research states that various physical activities like walking, stretching, moving, crawling, dancing, and jumping can enhance the learning process. Eric Jensen states in his article "Moving with the Brain in Mind" that students will be more engaged and gain knowledge by using different classroom styles and incorporating "flexible seating" instead of the traditional way of sitting long hours in the same position.
Teachers need to engage, inspire, and encourage students in a greater variety of postures, including: walking, dancing, lying down, bouncing or any type of movement that will motivate, stimulate, and encourage the students to learn.
My project will incorporate the "21st Century" flexible seating. The students will be allowed to sit in either scoop chairs, bean bags, rugs, stability bouncy balls, stools, and so forth. The students will be gaining knowledge, exercising, having fun, and enjoying coming to school to learn.
