After months of working from home and being confined to unconventional workspaces, I think we can all agree that your environment can directly impact your levels of focus and achievement. The same goes for students in the classroom! Some of my rising second graders have been out of the building, learning in the virtual world, for over 18 months. Help me create a welcoming environment for their grand return back to in-person learning with flexible seating and fidget tools. Flexible seating helps to meet the needs of diverse learners and gives students autonomy over their learning environment - choosing what works for them. The wobble stools I’m asking for are adjustable, comfortable, durable, easy to clean, and allow for movement while your work (speaking from experience I have two already and often lose them to students who need them more or have earned their turn!) Fidget tools are sensory objects, students think they’re being allowed to “play” when really it’s helping them to focus or calm down and deescalate. Fidgets can be used as incentives as well as academic tools, the pop-it, especially, can be used to count syllables, phonemes, do simple math, and create arrays which in second grade is our foundation of multiplication and division. Admit it, we all fidget while we work, help me give my students a teacher-approved way to wiggle!
