We will use the Ball Chairs every single day! They will be used for seating at students' tables and could be easily moved around the room as needed for different content areas (reader's workshop, i-Ready Math, and writer's workshop) and cooperative learning activities (dramatic play, center-based activities, and so on). In addition to seating options we already have available in our classroom, students will learn how to choose the right type of space or seating to do their best learning encouraging them to take ownership of their school experience. My goal is to nurture learning in classroom workspaces that are both comfortable and naturally stimulating for interaction. Flexible seating options will encourage movement, creativity, conversation, collaboration, and empower problem-solving and community building as we learn to become leaders in our classroom together. I believe that children learn best when they are allowed the freedom to be active, engaged learners - able to explore the world around them. Flexible, active seating encourages students to interact with their peers in a socially appropriate way. Additionally, the health benefits of this type of flexible seating will help to develop kids' core muscles for stability and balance, improve posture, increase blood circulation, and decrease sedentary habits early in childhood creating healthy and happy little people!!
