The second graders in my class School in California are ready for a new class design. A classroom where choice is part of their daily learning, and a classroom where the learning space provides easy team collaboration. This redesign needs new seating options to make it happen. We are in need of wobble stools and exercise balls. Research shows that these types of seating clustered around increases motivation and improves core strength and oxygen to the brain. It's also no shock that the opportunity for movement also is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. I am hopeful that with this new design, the second graders will not only have higher engagement but will also be provided the space for more team collaboration.
