I have noticed that having the ability to move in a quiet and appropriate way helps many students stay focused and engaged. It has also given students more ownership over their learning environment because they can choose the seating option that works best for them. We are continuing to use these resources throughout our daily lessons as we work on building strong learning habits and supporting the different needs of every student in our classroom. \r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping create a classroom where everyone has the opportunity to learn in a way that works best for them.
