When our students first saw the two new ergonomic bounce chairs, their faces lit up with excitement—they couldn't wait to try them out.\r\n\r\nSince then, the chairs have been a game-changer during reading, writing, and independent work. Students are able to focus longer and feel more comfortable while learning. I even saw a student who usually struggles to stay seated complete an entire writing activity without getting up.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll continue using the bounce chairs for collaborative projects, math stations, and science experiments.

The students have created mazes for their friends to follow with fun little surprises. The students had such a great time working together to create. They get to see how a code they draw with a marker translates to a movement of the little robot. \r\n\r\nWe compare it to how some rides in amusement parks are now set to follow a path through a building. It is all connected based on sensors and coding language. It surprises students how little things can make huge things. \r\n\r\nAs a computer teacher, I love to see their faces light up when I pull out the ozobots and other little robots. They are learning while they play. Then I get to introduce them to careers where they could work but also play.
