Kids need to move! They often have a hard time sitting still because they have extra energy. I want to help them focus and move at the same time. I would love to have these three Wobble Chairs in my classroom to help the children attend to their learning. I have copied some facts about these chairs and how helpful they can be for kids and teachers alike. "The littlest kids are even more wiggly because their sensory systems are still developing. Some kids need more movement than others. And for some kids with a sensory processing disorder or ADHD, being in motion allows their brains to be engaged. That's where ball chairs come in. In response to the ball's instability and in order to remain balanced while sitting on one, the body instinctively — and continually — engages core muscle groups. Constant movement is required in order to stay seated on the ball. And that movement, however slight, helps them focus." Diana Henry Wobble Chairs are the perfect solution for a first grade classroom. My students will be able to sit and read or complete their work while quietly moving. This movement is also helping them to focus more. I am so excited to use these chairs. We do take frequent movement breaks, but many children still have trouble sitting and concentrating. I know these chairs will really benefit them!
