These stools will allow all students the opportunity to engage their cores and, in turn, increase academic engagement. Keeping my third graders focused and on task is one of my objectives to enhance student learning. Although I build in movement breaks throughout the day, some students need to move to help them reengage. The open core stance provided by the stools combined with the ability to flex the leg muscles, naturally increases cardiovascular activity. The increased activity facilitates more effective oxygenation of the brain and thereby contributes to a greater degree of mental alertness. Physical movement around the stool and core engagement turns on students' brains and keeps them "turned on" to the learning throughout the school day. I believe that my students will be extremely motivated to have the opportunity to use these colorful, durable, low maintenance alternative form of seating.
