My students need wobble stools to keep them actively engaged during small group instruction and math stations. These stools will increase their attentiveness and help them focus on learning tasks.
Do you remember the excitement you had when you stepped into your kindergarten classroom? I teach 24 very excited and active 5 and 6 year old students who come ready to explore and learn each and every day!
Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly.
We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have the opportunity to mold their minds and help them thrive!
I teach in a rural school with approximately 550 students. My students are full of energy and love to sing, learn, move and play everyday. School is new for some as they have never been in a school setting before. Giving them flexible seating options will allow them to thrive and continue their love for learning and exploring within the classroom.
My Project
The use of wobble stools for this project will help my students become more engaged while working in the classroom. These stools will allow for a more comfortable, engaging environment within my classroom especially in math and literacy. Using the guided math approach, students come to the table with stools for guided practice and independent practice. The stools will allow the students to move a little, while still being engaged in learning. Also during the Daily 5 approach the students engage in reading, writing and word work activities. The wobble stools will keep them engaged and learning the skills needed to become an independent learner.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
Students will be able to simply focus on the math and literacy standards and have the opportunity to release energy at the same time!
