We see more and more that sitting still and silent is not the way many of our students learn best. These wobble chairs will help my 5th graders have the option of being able to move around as they learn. Kids need the option to move and wiggle while they learn in order to increase engagement and understanding. Dr. John Ratey, a Harvard University professor and author of books including “Driven to Distraction” and “Spark” stated: “Indications are that the tiny movements kids make while balancing stimulate their brains and help them focus. Using their core muscles more causes the prefrontal cortex to get turned on, which does a lot of things, including inhibiting impulses.” In our classroom, where taking advantage of every minute of instructional time is critical, kids will achieve more when they are able to stay focused. All of my students' learning styles are unique and different from one another. The flexibility the wobble chairs give them will help them to be more creative and engaged.
