Help me give my students taller wobble stools and an area rug for our morning meeting area!

My Project

Often new teachers use hand-me-down items in their classrooms due to the cost of buying new classroom furniture new. The current wobble stools are in need of being replaced. I am looking to replace some wobble stools in my classroom and add an area rug for our morning meeting area.

Flexible seating options allow students with different sensory or physical needs to be more comfortable when it is time to sit.

This specific rug can also be used to help students practice letter and number identification as well. These new wobble stools are also taller in height for my students in the older grades.
