My Project
Children are great at finding ways to learn better. When teachers listen to them, we can better support them. My students are always asking to move to the floor while working or stand up at their desks. Or their hands are on the move. Rather than always telling them "no" or "stop that," I try to listen to what they are telling me their minds and bodies need. And when I listen to them and allow them to move, the effect on their focus and engagement is very positive!
These fidgets and seating options would provide my students with positive ways to be active within the learning environment.
My students need seating options that allow them to move more as they learn. They need fidgets that can help their hands be on the move while their minds are focused on the lesson. Children naturally want to wiggle, rock and tip their seats while in class all day. They show me their need for these things each and every day through their actions and comments. These seating options would help them to feel more comfortable as they work, both at their desks and spread out around the room for individual and small group work. These fidgets and alternative seating options would also be especially helpful for my students with attention issues. It would give them a directed way to fidget and focus at the same time. They would empower them to choose which fidget and/or seating option suits them best. Teaching them to be engaged learners, who are aware of their own needs, helps to set them on the road to a healthy, successful life.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
