Wiggle While We Work!

Help me give my students wobble chairs designed to allow them to move as they learn! These safe, plastic stools are durable and are a great flexible seating option!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kimball's classroom raised $568

My Students

My students live in a rural, socioeconomically disadvantaged community where they engage in a range of physical activities. They love athletics, games, exploring outside, hiking, swimming, and canoeing. In fact, they'll soon physically monitor a local pond for invasive species; they're a busy group of kids whose learning is enriched through movement.

Being confined to traditional chairs can stifle my students' curiosity and engagement in the classroom.

It's not natural for kids to sit so long over the course of the school day and it makes the idea of returning to school from summer break seem less than thrilling.

My Project

My citizen scientists learn about the world around them by engaging in science practices that help them to identify and solve problems. They monitor a local pond for invasive plant species and the local forest for Hemlock Wooly Adelgid. Last year they learned the effects of plastic on the ocean community and this year will bioengineer a food-based plastic alternative. They learn science by doing science.

Gathering, analyzing, interpreting, and sharing data may not be the most glamorous component of their work, but the wobble stools will definitely make it less tedious for the most challenged students.

Being able to move while pouring over field notes, editing photos, revising explanations, and uploading data to the internet will improve the quality of their experience, as well as the work they produce. The world needs more scientists; help me nurture these curious problem-solvers!
