My Project

These wobble stools help my students focus while they wiggle and wobble so that they can have a learning environment that meets their needs! My students are active and busy! Sometimes focus is an issue, and to help combat that, I would like to offer them an alternative to traditional seating! They need to move and learn at the same time! This is the perfect solution!

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them.

Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. Moreover, they are more engaged, and get more work completed when their needs are met. Additionally, students with disabilities or certain needs can benefit from having a variety of choice and comfort in their classroom seating.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
