My students need more movement! Many of my students struggle to focus throughout the day. Six Wobble Chairs would help them move their bodies, while learning!

My Students
"Increased physical activity during the school day can help children's attention, classroom behavior, and achievement test scores. Meanwhile, the decline of play is closely linked to ADHD; behavioral problems; and stunted social, cognitive, and creative development". -Darrell Hammond
Our school is a public school.
While we are in a suburban area, and our school is extremely diverse. My students come from a variety of backgrounds. Many of my students live in apartments or condos. Their parents work full time and unfortunately, many of them do not get as much physical activity as they need. We spend time each day moving our bodies in order to focus and concentrate throughout the day. However, this is not enough. My kids NEED to wiggle and need movement throughout the day. These stools would allow my students to move their bodies, while completing work and focusing on class activities.
My Project
My students will use these stools on a daily basis. They will use these stools during activities in which they would normally be seated at a desk or small group table. The stools will help them to focus during tasks that require much thought and concentration. Overall, these stools will help my students be more successful, because their bodies and minds will be activated!
The donations to the project will improve my classroom because students who have difficulty concentrating will be able to succeed.
They will be able to focus their attention on learning instead of controlling their bodies and movements.
