Alternative seating allows the students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, my students can choose to work in a variety of locations in our classroom such as traditional desks/tables, a low table, butterfly chairs, or on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. The students usually make good choices about where they sit, they are more engaged, and they get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desks.
My students are more engaged in their work and less disruptive when they are given a choice of where to work.
Alternative seating options help active students learn. Movement increases blood flow to the brain, helping to improve concentration and increase focus, reduce restlessness, and prevent boredom and distractions in class by keeping the body active and the mind engaged. Alternative seating options for students in elementary school classrooms provide an outlet for excess energy and give them opportunities to find a good fit for their concentration and productivity.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options and allowing them to make more effective learning choices. The ball stools are comfortable and bouncy, allowing students to sit at desks while allowing some movement. The standing desk will allow students who chose to stand to have a space where they can continue to work in a standing position. The lap desks can be used on the carpet or on desks to provide more standing options.
I have seen how choice and movement can positively affect my students’ work and hope that the additional options will help them grow.
