Active Imaginations Need to Move!

My students need to wobble on a KORE Chairs! They increase blood flow to the brain and thereby quiets the requirement for fidgety kids to move. Kids learn better and are more productive!

My Students

My students are active learners with wild imaginations! In my classroom my scholars are always hard at work, thinking of their next question to stump their teacher. My students care about each other and have worked really hard to build an amazing classroom community.

This year, my students are very active learners, who require movement to focus and be engaged in our learning.

Last year, I received a generous grant from our PTO for 6 wobble chairs, however, 6 is simply not enough. We have been practicing our problem solving skills, but kids are constantly wanting these chairs!

My Project

I have noticed a huge difference with providing alternative seating to my students. With a stand up desk and 6 wobble stools, my students are loving the movement that helps them focus. As a class, my students really want to each have a wobble chair to focus, move, and stay engaged in our rigorous curriculum.

My students have never liked to sit still, but until now there hasn't been a place for them to sit that allows them to be their energetic selves.

These Kore Wobble Stools gently rolls with your my students' natural movements, so he or she stays supported and comfortable while they wiggle around on their stool.

Ordinary chairs and stools force growing bodies into unnatural, static positions that are uncomfortable and don't help your child's posture. Kids can sit, wiggle, and fidget on this nifty chair while intuitively exercising their back muscles and working out their restless energy in comfort and support. The kid who may be considered "un-teachable" is now able to learn!"

In our classroom community I've seen so many kids really try to problem solve to take turns using the chair, however, I've noticed a huge difference when students use them, and I'd love for each child to have this opportunity, rather than having to wait for their rotation.
