My third graders have the wiggles. This can be solved with the use of wobble chairs. Some students just have to keep moving. Their muscles crave activity, making it difficult for them to sit still for long periods of time or focus on seated activities. Because active seating lets students move and adjust themselves in a non-disruptive way, they burn off excess energy and get the stimulus their muscles are looking for, making them more attentive in class. As a student moves during active sitting, the heart pumps a bit faster and blood vessels in the legs and hips open up which increases blood flow. Better blood flow means more oxygen gets to the brain. With more oxygen, brain function increases, allowing for improved focus and better knowledge retention. These amazing benefits are why my students need wobble chairs.
