Flexible Seats & Fidgets
Our classroom is fortunate to have a variety of optional seating that students can choose from to help them focus better on their learning and feel comfortable. They include: desk pedals, wobble stools, runtz yoga ball chairs, oodle stools, net saucer chair, twist lean stools, Fred loungers, beanbags and rolling flex chair.
Fidgets: We have a little "borrowing library" of various fidgets in our classroom that students can borrow when they feel like they need something to do with their hands while we are learning. We are still in the process of learning how and when to use these; this is an area where I want students to take ownership. We are working on how to reflect on our own needs to decide if we are using this as a tool to help us focus or as a toy to distract us from learning. Some of these items include marble fidgets, theraputty, bike chain fidgets, wire rings, skate board bearings, marble mazes, tangles, etc.
