I have many students with attention issues in my classroom. I currently have homemade flexible seating in my classroom and it has helped my students immensely. They love coming to class and I have decreased behavior issues because of it. However, my students are quickly outgrowing the small crates. These new seats will allow them to continue to focus on their learning by allowing them to move as they learn. Research shows that physical activity in the classroom is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. Flexible seating not only increases motivation and engagement, but also helps students to burn calories, use up excess energy, creates better oxygen flow to the brain, and improves core strength and posture. As you can see, this seating has a twofold benefit: This seating will help my students both academically and health wise.
