Currently, my classroom has limited alternative seating options. Unfortunately, I only have traditional chairs and mainly traditional desks. It is known that kids have a hard time sitting in one place all day; I even have a hard time sitting all day! If sitting still is hindering their learning, it should not be the expectation. Often times I find my students standing at their own desks, bopping from leg to leg, tapping their feet, or laying on the ground to increase their focus and engagement level. Several students pace the back and sides of my room to keep their legs going while trying to listen before working in a stationary spot. As their teacher, I want to provide the most successful working environment for all of my learners. With minimal seating options, I do not feel I am meeting the needs of many of my students who need movement. By donating to this project, you will be giving students the choice of movement at their own workstation to increase their opportunity for success. Wobble seats, core balls, core stability cushions, and resistance bands will provide several of my students the movement they need while remaining in the same space. They can bounce, wobble, kick, rock, and focus without distracting their peers and interrupting everyone's learning!
