So many of my students are squirming, fidgeting, and desperate to get out of their seats. As much as I try to get my students up and moving, sometimes sitting down and getting to work is necessary. I want to offer students alternative seating options or modifications that lead to some room to move while staying focused. I am requesting tools that allow my students to move in a non disruptive way. I requested under the table mini cycles. These allow for silent movement that get out the wiggles while still being on task. I also requested alternative seating, Wobble Chairs and Stability Balls, that allow for some wiggle and some wobble while still participating in class and staying in their designated learning area. Both these items lead to better fitness and physical health as well as academic focus. Students can put that energy into their chairs and not into a distraction from learning.
