Massey Street Public School, in Brampton, Ontario, has unconventional desks for its students. Instead of the traditional fixed desk, they have incorporated bicycle desks, bean bag desks, and wiggle stools into a 3-4th grade classroom as a pilot test, along with regular movement breaks for dance and yoga during the daily schedule.
Using pedal desks rather than conventional desks see children focus more.
Out of these, the bicycle desks, or pedal desks, may be especially useful for students with ADHD. With a pedal desk, the child can be physically active without needing to leave the classroom. Physical activity can help students with ADHD be more receptive to learning, and while schools allow physical activity breaks for these students, they must leave the classroom during their breaks. With the pedal desks, the student can be active and still learn, making them a great tool.
