Offering changes in positions and movement opportunities throughout the day gives children much needed bursts of activity. A multi-sensory approach to learning contributes to better learning outcomes,improved attention, greater focus, and less restlessness. Movement also improves participation and behavior. By encouraging my students to sit where they like, I will be providing them with tools to help them succeed. Frequent postural adjustments strengthen the core abdominal and truck musculature, promoting better muscle control when using a pencil, crayons and other classroom tools. My goal is to offer students a comfortable spot sit and still be able to meet their learning targets. We need the Flex-Space Collaborative Floor Work Space Bundle. Not being restricted to a desk and chair allows for flexibility both in body and mind and fosters a more dynamic learning environment. You wouldn't want to sit in the same spot all day, so why should we ask kids to do it for 7 hours a day? Movement increases blood flow, and increased blood flow increases brain function. Increased brain function means deeper thinking, and deeper thinking leads to new knowledge.
