My students need a wider variety of seating to allow for flexible seating. Wobble stools help with focus and on task behavior and floor cushions make things more comfortable.
Second graders are small wonders! They love learning new things, especially in a safe and comfortable environment. Seven and eight year old kids are full of energy, humor, insight, and curiosity. Never underestimate the power of the perfect learning spot for a child. Each student is unique and they are learning to make good choices about their learning environment. Some love sitting at a desk, but others prefer a quiet spot on the floor in a bean bag or on a cushion or stool at a small table. Happy, comfy kids learn more!
My Project
Additional wobble chairs and floor cushions for flexible seating will allow students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
