Mrs. Gerken’s Classroom Edit display name

Every child is unique and will use multiple modalities to learn effectively. Kinesthetic learners learn best when allowed to move. Movement keeps our brains active and focused. Many of my students struggle when required to sit in standard school chairs. Not only does the need for movement cause these children to be less focused, their fidgeting and movement around the classroom disrupts the learning of others. I want all students to learn in an environment that meets their individual needs. The flexible seating option of the Zenergy Ball Chairs will allow students to sit and move their bodies at the same time.
