Fun Flexible Seating!

Help me give my students flexible seating in the classroom! These chairs are fantastic for the hyperactive and wiggly kids in the classroom. It allows them to get their wiggles out while focusing on their work!

My Project

Hello! My name is Charlotte Reed and I am a first-year teacher. I am teaching 3rd grade. I would like flexible seating in my classroom for a number of reasons.

As a first-year teacher, I want to provide my students with the tools to become the very best learners they can be.

This flexible seating will be fantastic for my hyperactive and wiggly students. The wobble chair allows students to move while still at their desks and helps them focus on their work. The wobble chair improves students' core strength while giving them more freedom in their movement.

Secondly, it will be a fantastic incentive for students to earn. If the wobble chair is an incentive for students to stay focused and follow classroom expectations. If they follow these, they will be rewarded with fun seating! My hope is that this incentive will encourage students to be their very best in the classroom.

Having the wobble chairs would greatly help my hyperactive kids while also working as an incentive for the students to work. As a first-year teacher, I want my students to work as productively as possible and I believe that the flexible seating would help me achieve this. I would be forever grateful if you are able to help me achieve this goal. Thank you for taking the time to read my essay!
