Active Learners Benefit From Active Outlets

Funded Nov 30, 2021

Our active classroom of learners has been putting all of these items to good use.

The wobble seats allowed each student to decide on their preferred seating and many chose to use these seats to move their bodies and activate their core muscles throughout the day.

Each child also received a whisper phone and they can quickly connect their phones to do quiet partner work and I was impressed at the effectiveness of this tool; the voice level in the classroom substantially decreased allowing for better concentration for all.

The sound-blocking headsets are available to any student if they feel they could use a quieter environment and so many have utilized this option. Often students use them for a subject or two while they decrease some sensory input and get regulated, then they take them off to rejoin the typical classroom environment.

During Bulldog Time, when the students saw the new puzzles, drawing books, shoe-tying manipulatives, and memory game their excitement was palpable. Students were eager to get to work collaborating with peers to problem-solve and use their working memory.

It is with true sincerity that I thank you for contributing to our active classroom. These items have had a positive impact on each and every child in our room.”
