Choices in the classroom are essential to student engagement and productivity. Our writing center is filled with paper choices and different types of writing tools. There are countless tools and manipulative materials in our math center. Thousands of books fill our classroom library where students choose books to read for the week.
Every student is a unique individual that has needs and preferences.
One of the most important choices a teacher can offer his or her students is where they will sit while they work, listen, and learn. Some children work best when they can lie down with a cushion on our cozy carpet and others prefer to stand in front of their desk or at the counter while they read or write. Still, some children often seem to be fidgeting or moving around because it is difficult for them to pay attention to their teacher or their work when they are sitting still.
The wobble stools and floor seats that I am requesting will allow students to sit comfortably and move around while learning and working.
