Flexible Seating and Movement to Maximize Learning

Help me give my students maximum flexible seating and movement options. Movement and flexibility while learning are crucial for many different types of learners, and I’m realizing now that I know my students this year need more options!

My Project

Less than three weeks into the school year and I’m already enamored with my very first class of third graders! I’ve learned so much about them, including how they learn best. I want to make sure my classroom supports their needs and empowers them to be their best selves, as well as to advocate for their needs to help them learn and grow. Flexible seating is a priority, and I’ve realized just what I’m missing - a low table for the front carpet, and lots of bouncy bands so my students can safely seek movement and sensory stimulation. Thank you for helping me meet my students’ needs!
