Last year I implemented flexible seating in my classroom. I was very nervous to try it- let 5 year olds CHOOSE where to sit?? What? But now all I can say is "What took me so long?!" Giving Kindergartners the choice of where to sit increases their level of learning. When they take ownership of their choice it is amazing to see how hard they work to keep their spot. Because they choose the spot that is right for them each day, they are able to sit or stand or lay in a spot that matches their energy level. The wobble stools will be one more choice for my students when they have a "high energy" day. Like the yoga balls, they allow students to have movement while they are working. Their bodies can "wobble" while their brains are hard at work!
