Many of my students have a lot of energy to let loose, they will do this by fidgeting in their seat or playing with their materials because they do not know where to send it. Having various forms of seating that is conducive to helping a child with ADD, ADDHD, or just your average rambunctious first grader will increase their learning. We as adults struggle to learn when we are uncomfortable, children are the same! We as adults often will groan inwardly when we walk into a meeting and only the "uncomfy" seats are left! In our adult lives we are very rarely required to learn for 7.5 hours a day in a rock hard plastic chair! I always go to my favorite spot on the couch to work read a book and watch movies. Our kiddos are the same. These seats will really help the students in sharing, taking turns and develop a love of learning. Maybe if I had a seating choice when I was in high school I would have liked Romeo and Juliet. The wobble, bouncy cushions and ball chairs allow a child to be in perpetual motion or still without making a sound. This allows their nervous energy to flow out leaving their mind free to focus. The Bean bags provide a soft comfortable "safe" feeling that put students minds at ease that may have had a rough night, allowing them to focus. When students are more comfortable they are more open to learning!
