After watching a
Channel One story on Flexible Classroom Seating, students in Mr. Satre's and Ms. Ogle's 5th-grade classrooms at Harvest Elementary School began bringing balance balls to school. Balance balls have many benefits for students including engaging both sides of the student's brain which allows students to focus better than in traditional settings. The addition of balance balls to the classroom environment required some repositioning of desks, but overall the effects have been positive.
Similarly, students in Mrs. Grigsby's 4th-grade class at Polk Elementary School have had the opportunity to participate in flexible seating. One of the options for students in Mrs. Grigsby's class is adjustable standing desks. Students have definite opinions about the use of standings desks. While many students appreciate the adjustable nature of the desk height, some students prefer traditional seating options.
