You know that feeling after sitting in a chair for an hour with just pencil and paper to engage you? Now imagine how 5-year-olds feel. They're just not built to sit still! Studies have shown links between learning and movement. When kids use their bodies, they engage their brains. My school has about 90 English Language Learners (ELLs). I work with 5- to 7-year-olds who may speak Filipino, Japanese, Russian, Samoan, Spanish, or an Alaska Native language. Their academic & social needs are just as diverse. One group can have a student who reads but can't follow directions, one with a great vocabulary who can't sound out simple words, and one who understands English but hardly speaks. Some love to sit & please the teacher, and others love to challenge authority. Flexible seating options can help bridge the learning gap for lots of kids. Please consider helping me meet the needs of my very active students!
