Students need to move frequently, especially kindergartners! Most students are not successful just sitting in a chair at a desk all day. I myself need to move around frequently! Flexible seating helps students burn more calories, use up excess energy, improve metabolism, increase their motivation and engagement, which creates a better oxygen flow to the brain, and improves core strength and overall posture. Research shows that physical activity is linked to higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. In fact, a paper by Matthew T. Mahar, et al finds that: "Simple in-class activities can boost performance. Studies suggest that children who participate in short bouts of physical activity within the classroom have more on-task behavior, with the best improvement seen in students who are least on-task initially.”
