My classroom is comprised of 22 very active 5 and 6 year olds! Our school is a Title 1 and PBIS school. Our school and classroom is often a safe haven for many students in our community.
To keep our busy bodies active, we do lots of movement activities, art projects and brain breaks to build our stamina and our love of learning.
My students truly love learning! In our classroom, we have so much fun, it is easy to forget that we are learning, too!
My Project
Kindergarteners, along with most young learners, love to move! Although we try to get up and take breaks as much as possible, some activities are better suited for a table. As our curriculum gets more rigorous and sitting is required more often, student's needs must still be met.
By having alternative seating options for students, they will be able to keep up with the high standards and stamina needed to complete their work while still getting all the wiggles out!
With wobble chairs/cushions and stability ball seats, students will have the freedom to rock, bounce and wiggle while remaining focused, in their own space and without distracting peers.
