My students need more options for flexible seating in the classroom. These 2 balance balls and 3 Kore Wobble chairs would be a great tool for my active 2nd graders.
I have a wonderful group of 2nd graders this year. I am trying flexible seating in my classroom. They love having options. Unfortunately, we don't have enough non-traditional seats in our room for everyone to use one. These seats would allow most of my students to use some type of alternative seat.
I teach 2nd grade at a low-income school.
My students are fantastic and I want them to have a year they will never forget. They have shown me they are responsible and love the opportunity to try new things in our class. They have really taking to flexible seating and I want to be able to offer more choices so that more students can have the opportunity to find a seat that best fits them. I have an active group of kids and I believe offering these types of seats will help them to stay engaged and focus on the learning activities.
My Project
My students will use these seats to find the best seat for their learning style. I am trying to provide several different types of seating so that the majority of the students will find one that helps them to stay focused and engaged. We start each week with students choosing the seat they think will help them focus best for the week. These seats will provide an opportunity for the majority of the class to get to experience flexible seating.
Right now I only have 2 ball chairs that I made and the students love them.
Unfortunately, I have 20 students so they don't all get a chance to use one. I would love to get the kids excited about our classroom even more than they are. They have been a very responsible group and deserve a chance to try this new style of seating. I think this will really help my active kids focus and stay engaged in the learning activities in our classroom.
