I am just ending my second year of teaching and love it - especially the age of children that I get to work with. They are still young, but capable of so much. The one thing that has become very evident to me this year is the power of choice. Not every student learns the same way, and yet we offer one choice. I currently have desks and chairs in my classroom, and I can't tell you how many times I've told my students to not tip their chairs backwards! They quickly correct themselves but without thinking, they are back to tipping their seat! Instead of fighting against their constant need to wiggle, the Wobble chairs allow them to move freely! This movement allows those students to better focus without distracting others and without the falling that happens with normal chair tipping. The stability balls offer another kind of seating that may be a better option for another student. Lastly, I also would like to put two bean bags and two seats on the floor for reading and independent work time.
