My students have been doing virtual and at-home learning for almost a year. They have been free to learn where is best for them at home. Now as we transition back to in-person learning I worry about how sitting at the desk and the same place all day will affect their bodies and mind. I want my students to be able to have options when it comes to their seating. With these new wobble seats and cushions, these students will be able to move, focus and have choices with their learning throughout the day. Students will be able to move between different flexible seating options throughout the classroom. These products I have to choose will give the students the opportunity to learn in a way that is best for them. Students will start to notice how they gain focus and responsibility when given the opportunity to use flexible seating in the classroom. I can't wait to see my students responsibly wiggling their way through 2nd grade.
