The majority of my students need to be able to be able to move and fidget in order to learn. Having flexible seating options in the classroom is an amazing way to accommodate these needs for movement breaks during class, but unfortunately, they are often expensive and I am unable to fund everything I would love to have in my classroom. Having yoga mats and fidget bands available to all students would drastically increase the access that all students have to the curriculum in addition to improving the overall classroom environment. Yoga mats allow students to comfortably spread out in the classroom and hallway in order to work in groups, give themselves space when necessary, or simply move while learning. Similarly, fidget bands on desks allow students to constantly move and wiggle without disrupting their peers or their teacher. Often this acts as a substitute for more distracting movements, such as foot tapping or pen clicking.
