I pull 3-5 students at a time to my office for guided practice and/or small group instruction. My students are currently sitting on 4 legged stools while participating in our small group lessons. I have one yoga ball that my students take turns using because they enjoy the movement while they work. My students are better able to focus on their learning when they are able to move! The problem is that I am constantly reminding the ones on the stools to stop rocking on 2 legs (I'm afraid they will fall). Today I borrowed a wobble chair from a colleague and my students all wanted to try it out. They loved it! It was perfect for their movement while working... just like rocking back and forth on the regular stools but without any of the risk or constant nagging from me! These wobble chairs, in addition to the squish balls and fidget devices, would allow my students to release some of their energy in a safe, non-destructive manner that is conducive to their learning. Plus, because I can fit the wobble chairs under my table, there is room for all my students to benefit from them.
