I have a hard-working bunch of 2nd graders who love to wiggle and wobble while they work! Of my 17 students, two thirds of them are boys. Our class is full of kind, funny and intelligent kiddos, but sometimes they have a hard time controlling their movements and staying focused on their learning. We have a wide variety of learning styles, but a limited number of options to fit these learning styles. Flexible seating allows students to move their bodies, while also keeping their minds active and focused! It is a way to offer students choice in their learning. I have previously been able to use options such as rugs and reading buddies, standing tables, and comfy chairs in my classroom. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and needing to socially distance within our classrooms, many of these options are no longer allowed. The products I have selected will allow my students to stay safe and healthy at their desks, while also allowing them to wiggle and wobble. Each item can be used as an alternative for a standard chair, can be sanitized easily, and used for years to come! While my students have done an incredible job of showing their resilience this year, some still struggle with the restrictions of learning in a pandemic. These flexible seating options will allow all of my students to make active choices in their learning - choices that will help them to be more engaged in their learning and get the most our of this school year as possible!
