Movement is an essential part of young children’s success in school. As our curriculum expands and our students are constantly being assessed, movement is a must! Right now, yoga and dance brain breaks are the only option I have for my students. Wobble chairs and flexible seating would give my students so much more choice and many more movement options during their learning. Flexible seating has become very popular in classrooms everywhere.
The Wobble chairs and seats I have requested are meant to allow students to move while working. These amazing chairs allow students to move and rock safely. Many students tip back in their chairs now, and it’s very dangerous. I know it works because as a mother of a very anxious 4th grader whose teacher moved to a classroom with flexible seating, I saw great changes. Being comfortable while in class helps anxious students feel more relaxed. More learning takes place when students feel safe and comfortable. This is what this project will provide for students in my classroom now and in the future.
