Wiggle While Writing

Help me give my students the inspiration and creativity to write in a comfortable environment that allows movement in Wobble Chairs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Malasnik's classroom raised $968

This project is fully funded

My Project

Writing has always been the most difficult subject to maintain student engagement. The materials I have requested will assist with increased engagement while writing with unique story prompts, high-interest topics, and social-emotional activities.

Unique and interesting writing prompts will increase student interest and time on task.

Variety, choice, interest, and movement will engage more students for a longer period of time. Writing is a challenging subject to make interactive. Wobble Chairs will allow students who need to wiggle the opportunity to stay focused and be productive. Students will love writing!
