It can be challenging for students to make the transition from elementary school to junior high. Students have to be able to transition classrooms and teachers throughout the school day. Students are often expected to stay focused for longer periods of time with less opportunities for active breaks.
Many of our students have shared with us that they are better focused in the classroom when they have the option to use alternative seating. We currently use yoga balls, crate stools, lap desks, and clipboards but would like to expand the flexible seating options in our classrooms to help benefit the needs of more students.
