When I work, I want to be comfortable and sometimes it is not at a desk. The new furniture (bike pedals, balance ball chairs, lap desks, wobble boards) will provide the students with a different option besides a hard chair. Many students also have attention problems, being able to move and change seating can eliminate the behavior issues that may arise. They can pull the chairs together as they are reading and discussing. Again, students spend so much time in the classroom and they need to be comfortable. That may be having a chair that allows them to move, a classroom that they can collaborate, and even a spot where they can work in piece. These students are learning that a classroom is not just within the four walls of a classroom. It doesn't have to be a place that is orderly and uncomfortable. Help these students get a chance for change.
