In a classroom with 24 kindergarten students, we are constantly moving throughout the day. I have found that some of my students need more flexibility with their seating options. I have always admired the structure of the wobble and balance stools because I feel they promote focus and give the students a chance to keep their little bodies moving while still getting work done.
My hope for my students is that they can see that there are many different ways and positions that make it possible to learn. While traditional seats and chairs work for many students, I have found that by giving students options of seating that they can be in control of their learning environment. Normally in the game "musical chairs" someone is "out" after each round, but in my classroom finding a new space or seat of your choice helps you become a more self-sufficient learner!
