Other than whole group time, I allow my students to go where they are able to do their best. The new area rug will be a place where my students can sit during our whole group lesson and where they will be able to comfortably work on their independent reading as well as other assignments. The stools will be utilized during small group time where my students will be engaged in hands on lessons. The wobble stools and cushions will provide students with a tool to help them stay focused through movement. Did you know that students that use tools such as, wobble stools, wiggle bands, and other flexible seating options throughout the year get to utilize these tools on the day of their standardized test? Not only is this a big deal to keep students focused and motivated on a daily basis, but it is also a tool they can use on their biggest assessment of third grade. Do you remember 3rd grade? Do you remember sitting and listening all day? I do. As a child with ADHD, I remember that school was always very difficult for me. Sitting still and being forced to work like everyone else when that's not how my brain worked was torture and made feel inferior and resent education. I became an educator to empower students with special needs. Not just the students that have learning disabilities but also those with learning difficulties due to their impulsivity, struggles with attention, as well as other struggles. I feel giving them the power of choice through movement in our classroom is a way to do this.
