My Students

I LOVE MY JOB AND MY KIDS! But they are your typical antsy teenagers who have to sit in their seats for 90-minute class periods. We live in an amazing school district, but we are on the mid-lower side of the income level.

My Project

These wobble seats are like fidget toys but for the entire body. As you can imagine, it is difficult to keep students' undivided attention in a math classroom. And I teach state tested classes! These seats allow antsy students to move while staying seated, thus being less disruptive to the class. Students at my school sit through four 90-minute classes per day. I have many students who like to walk around during class, which can wreak havoc at times. These wobble seats will allow the students some non-disruptive movement during that time.
