My students are silly, busy bees. They are always eager to learn new things in my classroom, but have a hard time staying in their seats which prevents all of my students from staying focused on our valuable lessons. Flexible seating like cushions and wobble stools would help my busy bees stay seated so we can spend our valuable time learning and doing fun activities! Preventing distractions in our classroom would be beneficial to both me and my students. Allowing them to wiggle and wobble in their seats would help my second graders get their energy out in a positive and respectful way.
