I am asking for four balance ball chairs, four wobble chairs, two bean bags, eight balance discs, and two saucer chairs to help implement flexible seating in my classroom. Studies show that physical activity is linked to higher engagement, higher academic performance, better health, and improved behavior. Creating flexible seating in my classroom will allow students to release all that bundled up energy by being able to move freely while learning without disrupting their peers. Each day in a conventional school setting, students are spending 6+ hours sitting in hard plastic chairs expected to stay engaged and learn. Not all students learn in the same way anymore. I want to create a classroom environment that adheres to ALL students' sensory needs and learning styles. Flexible seating also empowers student choice. A lot of my students feel pressured because they can't control things that are happening at home, and at school they can't control what they're required to learn. But with flexible seating, they CAN control HOW they will learn. Each time a student makes a choice to benefit their own unique learning style, they are making a positive impact in their education. Please help me get rid of my conventional desks and make room for 21st century learning with flexible seating options!
