Help support Mrs. Rechterman's Classroom

Young students struggle to sit in a desk throughout the day and many students learn better if they are able to lay down, sit in different types of chairs or kneel. In many classroom environments students aren't given a chance to make choices about their learning. We need stacking stools, balance balls and kneeling pads for flexible seating options in my classroom to accommodate all their wiggles and different seating preferences to encourage learning. I would like a classroom that breaks away from the traditional mold. I want to allow students to choose how and where they want to sit in the room that will allow them the best chance to learn. When a student enters my room they will not be met by the traditional rows or groupings of desks instead students will have many different seating options. They will choose to sit on a mat on the floor and work at a low table, to balance on a ball, to stand behind a tall table or desk, to sit on a padded crate chair or to work on a clipboard while sitting in a comfy scoop chair. I hope this will enhance the students responsibility for their own learning. I feel like a student who owns his or her own choices will full fill better success because they are getting to choose and change their environment throughout the day.
