Flexible seating in the classroom

FRANKTON — Over her nine years of teaching, Meghan Hersberger has noticed that her first-graders at Frankton Elementary School were becoming increasingly distracted, their restlessness resulting in getting them off task and sometimes leading to behavioral problems.

After doing some research, she decided this school year to experiment with flexible seating options in her classroom, replacing some standard-issue chairs with exercise balls.

“I saw a need because more and more of my kids had problems with attention and focus,” she said.
