This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Bettencourt from Spanaway WA is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Movement Matters

Help me give my students the option to use a wiggle stool instead of their regular chair. So many students struggle to sit still for long periods of time and need a way to stay moving.

My Project

The utilization of flexible seating options such as wiggle stools can be advantageous for individuals who require more movement than traditional seating allows. This type of seating provides an alternative for active students who struggle to remain still, allowing them to move without disrupting their peers. Ultimately, it can help decrease restlessness and improve the ability to focus and maintain attention levels.

I have 28 students in my 4th grade classroom and work at a K-8 school of Arts and Sciences.

The movements experienced when using a wobble stool can provide the body with sensory input that may help organize the nervous system. Additionally, it can contribute to improved posture and increased core strength.
