My students need additional seating options that can allow the movement they need during instruction. Stabili-T-Stools, Wobble Chairs, Bouncy Bands, and balance balls allow children to bounce and move while learning! Children are always on the move...until they get to school and have to sit in a desk all day. Well, that's not exactly what my 1st grade classroom looks like. We like to move while we learn and especially like center time! Unfortunately, sometimes we do sit in our desk for longer than 10 minutes at a time. This is the maximum time some children are able to sit at one time! So what do they do? Often times they find themselves zoning out and missing the lesson or entertaining themselves in a way that is distracting to others. This project is to allow additional seating options for the students who just need to wobble, wiggle, and bounce! Having different seating options will keep them focused on what we are learning and out of trouble! I already allow my students to stand if they don't want to sit, but it just isn't enough. They need more opportunities to MOVE!
