I have one Kore wobble seat in my room right now and I saw increased concentration when students were able to spin and wobble on it. It would be beneficial for my students to have more than one available along with another Stay and Play Balance Ball. Students need to be able to move while they are working and the flexible seating allows them to move in their own space. I have seen increased engagement and concentration when students are allowed to pick their seating choice. The black light and the Music LED Strip lights are for a room transformation I am planning for the end of a phonics unit. Room transformations are somewhat new to me and I am excited to be able to turn myself into "Mrs. McVowel" for a glow-in-the-dark short and long vowel review.The black lights will enable my students to show their work with glow in the dark objects and also highlighters.
