I borrowed a hokki stool from another teacher and let all of my students try it for a little bit that day. They really enjoyed using the stool instead of the chairs. Several students pointed out that they could wiggle and still learn. I told my students about DonorsChoose and that we could get some for our classroom. We decided to put this project up to help us wiggle while learning. I also heard from other teachers the benefits to students' core muscles by using a hokki stool. My kids thought it would be "super cool" to have strong tummy muscles! These stools will help students build their core muscles, all while getting to wiggle during their work. This will promote their concentration and attention during our learning time!
