The students who tend to be successful at school are the ones who are good at sitting and listening, unfortunately, that's not how all students learn best. At our school, we do our best to keep kids active and not sitting behind a desk listening all day. However, there are still times when they have to sit and focus on something quietly. The goal of this project is to help the wiggly kids, the ones who need to move, the ones who get distracted easily, and the ones who have a hard time self-regulating their emotions. My students need wobble chairs, cushions, and other alternative seating options to ensure their success in the classroom. My students are fully included in the General Education classroom, but some of them need dynamic, flexible alternative seating options for them to learn to sit for extended periods of time. Alternative seating will have a positive impact on the students in my classroom: Physical Health: Children need to move. Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. It also helps keep young minds more alert and focused. Collaboration: Flexible seating allows students to quickly and easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class – without moving mountains of heavy desks to establish eye contact. Communication: communication requires introducing higher-order thinking skills, communication, problem-solving, and emotional skills, like conflict resolution. There’s also much value in fostering turn-taking and patience. Sensory Input: Many flexible seating options stimulate students’ sense of touch. This type of stimulation can help children focus and process information. Sensory input is especially helpful for students with ADHD, ADD, and ASD. Fun: Flexible seating helps make learning fun!
