Wiggle Seats for Engaged Students

Help me give my students inflatable wiggle seats. These have a different texture on each side to promote core strength, improve posture and help them focus during class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ottesen's classroom raised $495

My Students

My students are 31 of the most adorable, inquisitive, thoughtful bunch of newly minted 4th graders. They are creative and busy and love hands-on projects. They make me a better person every day just by being around them. I am the luckiest teacher around!

My Project

Every student in my class is very different, but one common thing I have noticed is that this group of students is a little "wigglier" than past years! I am not sure entirely what contributed to this phenomenon; whether it is Covid related or just this groups' uniqueness, but I feel that wiggle seats would greatly benefit these kids. Another added bonus is that they can be used again to reach many other students in my future classes.

I know that my students would love to have one of their own because I currently have 4 seats in my classroom that all 31 kids rotate through.

They LOVE when it is their turn, even though it only comes around once every 2 weeks!
