Stability balls, stools, wobble & floor cushions, stability discs, saucer & bungee chairs, stadium seats, rug space & resistance bands are critical to enhancing learning for my students! The book bins will be used to keep students supplies organized while they are using these different seating options. Flexible seating provides choice and control over their environment which makes students feel empowered. Children need to move! Flexible seating allows them to wobble, rock, bounce, lean or stand which will increase oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. It helps to keep young minds more alert and focused. With more variety of options, I will better be able to meet the diverse needs of all of my students.
Physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior.
