My students work hard everyday, but sometimes it's hard to focus when they need to get their wiggles out. I have said these words, "Please put your chair down on all four legs!" countless number of times. It's honestly quite scary to watch a 5 year old push their chair on to two legs, but I know they just need movement! Flexible seating will allow my students the opportunity to move while working in a safe way! It will help them have better focus which will help them achieve their learning goals! Kindergarten is a very important grade where students are learning to read, write, and even do addition and subtraction! Without a good foundation in Kindergarten students my struggle in the following grades. All 5 and 6 year olds need to be more successful, is a chance to move while learning! Any movement while learning will increase their chance of success!
