Students of all levels can benefit from Bouncy Bands. In my classroom, during any given period, you can see some of the brightest minds drift away and focus on the blinds blowing in the breeze. A student with low academic achievement may be fidgeting with something at their seat because focusing on the lesson reminds them that more attention or concentration will be required for them to actively listen and understand what I am saying. In both cases, having a Bouncy Band attached to their desk will allow both students to have their feet quietly moving, which will increase their alertness to the important lesson in the front of the room. Although I try to give my students as many opportunities as I can for them to get out of their seats and work productively around the room, there is a significant amount of time that they need to stay seated. My students would benefit from Bouncy Bands which would allow some free movement during seat work.
