These materials will not directly teach my students new skills, but they will help prime my students for learning in all content areas and with many daily living skills. For example, while I'm teaching a lesson on number naming, one of my students may be rolling around on the floor having difficulty maintaining their space and needing gross motor activity. If I have a yoga ball, I can have my aide work with that student while I continue teaching. The movement will prepare that student for learning. Finally, the student will return to the group or independent work area and be able to sit and focus to learn or demonstrate a specific skill. Flexible seating will improve my classroom by reducing the amount of behavioral issues, because I will be able to provide the appropriate stimulation that my students need, but cannot voice, due to their age. Every time one of my students is in a yoga ball, cushions, or a special chair, I get at least 10 more minutes of attention and focusing out of them. With less behavioral issues, we can increase our learning and time on task. I'm looking forward to seeing my students happier and ready to learn as we have fun.
