My Students

The students I teach range in age from five to eight years old. They love school and love to learn. They like to work with me on their foundational math and reading skills. They work hard every day.

These kindergarten through second grade students are highly distracted.

They do their best to stay on task and get their job done but it can be difficult for them at times to stay focused. I want to do whatever I can to help them learn.

My Project

These Kore Kid Wobble Seats will help students focus. By using these seats properly students will improve their posture and their focus. These seats will help students expend some of their energy in a safe way.

Each day students I work with struggle in the typical chair to stay focused.

They try standing instead of sitting (which turns into dancing) or turning their chairs around and precious learning time is gone. These chairs will provide a way for students to sit attentively.

Other teachers who use these seats tell me the students love them. The teacher has to provide grounds rules for using them but they do work in a classroom setting.
