There are so many children who struggle with sitting still while completing their work. That doesn't mean they are not listening or that they are trying to break the rules. It is simply just too hard for them to stay put. These children cannot control their movement. They need something to help them get their wobbles out while doing their work. I have decided to help not only my children who struggle with this but all of my students. Every child should have the chance to get their fidgets out throughout the day. I want my students to have the opportunity to do this through more flexible seating options. My students will be able to use the new table and wobble stools to work on their writing during Daily 5. My students will be using the stools when they are working with the teacher one-on-one or during small groups. Lastly, students will have the option to use a wobble seat cushion on the rug, a chair, or on the floor at any point during the day. These flexible seating options will not only help my students who have difficulty sitting still but all of my students. Studies have proven how effective movement is for young children. Movement activates the brain in ways that sitting still never can! These materials improve student learning and engagement thus allowing for even more learning to occur!
