Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. My students have special needs so many of them need to move in order to work and concentrate the best. During independent learning time my students get to pick a spot in the classroom such as the floor, carpet, or table. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. Here are just a few of the benefits adding a little wiggle, bounce or wobble to everyday classroom seating can have: Sensory input and energy burning – Some kids just gotta keep moving! Their muscles crave activity, making it difficult for them to sit still for long periods of time or focus on seated activities. Because active seating lets kids move and adjust themselves in a non-disruptive way, they burn off excess energy and get the stimulus their muscles are looking for, making them more attentive in class. Improved posture and muscle tone – At the same time the student’s frequent postural adjustments strengthen the core abdominal and trunk muscles. This is important because increasing strength and muscle tone will also promote motor control to use a pencil, scissors and other classroom tools. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
