My Students

I like to move. I actually work better when I get to move, so why wouldn't we think that this is the same for our students?

I have 17 wiggly wobbly students who are brilliant.

If given the chance to get their wiggles out, they will produce some great work and give their best. My students need 5 Wobble Chairs to keep us focused. These Wobble Chairs will allow students to stay focused while they work and listen and get their wiggles out at the same time.

My Project

Over the past school year, I have had to give two of my students heavier chairs to stop them from rocking, but this is the opposite of what I actually want them to be able to do. These Wobble Chairs will allow my students to focus on the task at hand.

These chairs will be a huge step toward getting all my students focused on our work.

We will rotate using the chairs, so that all students get the opportunity to use them. Let's give my students the best chance at staying focused and ready to learn.
