I have always enjoyed watching students' internal light bulbs shine when they have achieved a goal. Their smiles and confidence levels soar when they have completed a stepping stone in their learning. However, due to classroom space, we are restricted to our individual desks for a large portion of our work time. This sometimes keeps students from staying focused and understanding an idea or concept.
My students strive to be the best by working hard each day and their passion for learning is amazing! My goal is to equip my classroom with Bouncy Bands so they can release nervous energy, stay focused and continue learning. What are Bouncy Bands one might ask? Bouncy Bands are the best way to implement alternative seating and it does not take up any extra room. Since bands are attached to existing desks, it is a win-win scenario for space.
Bouncy Bands are easy to install! The loops and tubes quickly slide up the 2 front legs of a standard student desk. Once support pipes are attached, bands are stretched and put in place. These bands will help change the concepts of traditional learning into fun and creative learning for all students. I cannot always grant free movement energy breaks, but I know these bands will help students to move while learning! Bouncy Bands will not only help individuals but will also keep students engaged in group activities and discussions. Staying focused in peer groups is a challenge but it鈥檚 so rewarding when they are communicating and collaborating with each other and achieving great results.
