8 Tips to Help Support a Kinesthetic Classroom? Don't be mistaken! This is not a 'flexible seating' post. Flexible seating is part of the puzzle piece, but throwing a bunch of wobble seats and bean bags in a classroom, does not solve the problem by itself. What's the problem? The problem is that children are wired to move and even with the best intentions and understanding of that fact, I really had to work very hard to physically get my classroom ready for that.

Chapter 3 and Time for a Freebie!
