This grant will provide students with wobble chairs that offer up an additional seating option for students who enjoy moving while working. Having flexible seating options in a classroom allows a student to choose where he/she would like to sit during independent work time. The students have the opportunity to move around the room and work in a place that best suits their learning needs. With the flexible seating options I already provide in the room, I have noticed a large difference in student engagement. The product I have chosen provides another opportunity for students to engage in collaboration and simply have a chance to get the wiggles out throughout the day. Research has proven that any additional movement, that is paired with instruction, helps students retain information better. Regular chairs can provide discomfort for students, but wiggle seats allow for students to have the movement they need and crave throughout the day. I strive to instill the love of learning in my students and this additional seating option, that is easy to move around the room, is the perfect opportunity for students to enjoy their learning. I want this additional option for seating, and the opportunity of choice, to enhance the classroom environment my flexible seating currently provides.
