My students need balancing discs and soft seats to sit on and be able to wiggle around to help their focus. They would also benefit from fidget bands on their chairs to let them kick their feet while sitting.
My students are in first grade and are such a great group of kids. We have a very wide range of students from struggling to enriched learners. All of my students love coming to school and love to learn.
I have learned that students work better when they are able to move around instead of sitting at a desk all day.
Especially in primary grade levels our students have a lot of energy and need to be able to move around while they work on their assignments and stay focused.
My Project
Students work very hard all day at school and need to be able to move around throughout the day. Flexible seating gives them the opportunity to move to different seats and even move a little in their seats.
Students should be able to choose where they learn as best as they can.
Students love when we give them options in the classroom. Even if it is as simple as where they sit to listen to the lesson.
Balancing discs and soft seats would give students the opportunity to wiggle in their spot but keep them in one place so they can keep their focus on the teacher or the assignment. Also kick bands would give students the chance to sit in their desk and kick the band if they are getting antsy and need to move while they are sitting still. I have seen the benefits of these flexible seating options and have seen an increase in student focus when these opportunities are available.
