Wiggle, Wobble, Rock & Learn in Cozy Kindergarten!
Help me give my students a variety of flexible seating options including wobble chairs/stools to enhance our learning in a fun, cozy, and safe classroom environment!
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." (Dr. Seuss) My goal is for my students to develop a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom and into their everyday lives! Incorporating flexible seating into my class will make learning more engaging and fun for these young learners!
My students are readers, writers, thinkers, problem solvers, scientists, and investigators.
Despite where they come from and whether they had any prior schooling, my students are eager to learn. They are always willing to take risks and be challenged.
My school serves students from Kindergarten through 5th grade and includes a full-day kindergarten program. I teach an inclusion kindergarten class. In my classroom, all of my students are between the ages of five and six years old and range in academic ability levels. My hope is to increase their focus and attention with the addition of flexible seating in my classroom.
My Project
Flexible seating in a classroom offers a variety of benefits to students and will impact daily learning. It alters the physical space of a classroom to create a comfy, cozy, and safe learning environment that can help a student focus on what they are learning as opposed to focusing on trying to stay on task. Flexible seating will empower students by giving them the ability to have choice and control over their environment. Students choose where they work and with whom. They can move and change their locations and positions when needed. It is vital that children have the freedom and ability to move throughout their day. Flexible seating gives them that freedom and allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand. Studies show this increases oxygen flow to their brains and assists in strengthening their core muscles. It also keeps young minds more alert and focused to learn.
Flexible seating in my kindergarten classrooms will give my students the choices they need to help them grow as lifelong learners.
Students in the classroom can grow tired of sitting on the carpet or in a traditional chair throughout their long day in full-day kindergarten, but with flexible seating in my classroom that can be a huge game-changer. Students will be able to wiggle while they work on wobble stools all while working.
Flexible seating will allow students the ability to collaborate easily, work in small groups, work in partners, or meet as a whole class for discussions enabling them to have eye contact with their peers.
