Better than a Chair!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Five-year-olds have a lot of energy! They love to move! With wobble chairs, the students will be able to move around without disturbing the students around them! The use of wobble chairs for those small children with big needs for motion helps them to focus and learn. I have seen great success with using wobble chairs for children with ADHD and just active students. The chair bags are to help the children learn at a young age to keep their materials organized. This is a lifelong lesson.
