I'm a firm believer in keeping the focus on what's really important: the students. With this, I need to adapt right along with my students. My classroom environment needs to be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. This is based on research on best practices for kids. Redesigning my classroom should have immediate benefits. These include burning more calories, using up excess energy, improving metabolism, increased motivation and engagement, creating a better oxygen flow to the brain, and improving core strength and overall posture. Physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. Simple in-class activities can boost performance. Studies suggest that children who participate in short bouts of physical activity within the classroom have more on-task behavior, with the best improvement seen in students who are least on-task initially. This is why many districts suggest more brain breaks and recess time. Flexible seating will permit my children to engage in positive activities, instead of focusing on how to rid of excess energy.
