Wobble While We Work! is a project created to allow students movement in the classroom without distracting others. Research confirms that physical movement can actually enhance the learning process. A 5th grade male student had this to say, “Alternative seating helps me move around and I don’t get a sore back, it helps me stay on task and I don’t get out of my seat." Alternative seating allows student’s knees, hips, and back to find comfortable and ever-changing positions for maximum comfort. Kore Wobble chairs, the Exercise Ball, and Trideer Inflated Stability Wobble Cushions all keep students moving, promote better posture and increased activity. Students are able to move, flex, and stretch without ever leaving their seats. These alternative seating choices also provide extra support in strengthening legs, back and abdominal muscles. Movement can be an effective strategy to strengthen learning, improve memory/retrieval, and enhance student motivation. As a special education teacher, I have found this to be true for not only students who exhibit characteristics of ADHD, but also students with characteristics of attention deficit disorder (ADD), Autistic characteristics, and students who have a restless nature. All of the fidgeting, chair scooting, and leg-swinging movements are actually helping student retain information.
