I recently read an article that mentioned when you consider a child’s learning style, kinesthetic learners (who require movement to learn) or tactile learners (who require hands-on learning), traditional classroom environments can be the biggest obstacle to learning. Very often, the children who can’t succeed in these classrooms are labelled ADD or ADHD. The reality is that children, like their adult counterparts, are not all the same in how they learn. The article went on to state that the more we understand our students’ learning strengths, the sooner we will be able to accommodate those needs and the more our students will soar. Kinesthetic and tactile learners have trouble sitting still. Because I have many kinesthetic learners in my math classes, I believe we'd benefit from having a silicone band at the bottom of each chair in our classroom. I've used silicone bands in the past for a few of my students who needed to wiggle their feet during class, but since we've started rotations this year, I now have 75 fifth-graders coming through my math class throughout the day. Many of these students have trouble keeping their feet still. So, I let them move! I've noticed that their performance usually improves if I let them stand up, SWING THEIR LEGS, or even pace the floor as long as they're not disrupting the other students.
