Throughout the day, in kindergarten, we are working hard on building our skills in reading, writing, math, social studies, science, and phonics. Sometimes it is hard for students to pay attention and remain on task. According to researcher Matthew T. Mahar, "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." I want to bring the choices of flexible seating into my classroom, so that students learn to make responsible choices about their work space and can focus on their learning. Recent research shows a strong connection between physical movement and improved cognition. It demonstrates that movement can be an effective cognitive strategy to strengthen learning, improve memory and retrieval, and enhance learner motivation and morale. My Kindergarten students will use these seating choices, such as Wobble Chairs, stools, and balance ball seats to improve their concentration and on-task behavior to help increase their learning.
