My Project

Movements of the wobble stool can help students build core strength by having to hold themselves upright on an unstable surface. They provide movement so the student might not get in and out of their seat as often and can focus more on the lesson or activity.

The books on this list have become some of my students favorite and I would like to have them in our classroom library so that they can enjoy them at any time.

The board games will be used during special occasions, fun friday and used as reward time incentives.
