Wiggle While You Work

My students need flexible seating options to keep their energized little-selves engaged in learning! By utilizing WOBBLE CHAIRS, students who like to wiggle and wobble while they work, have a safe-seat option to do so.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pietro's classroom raised $467

My Students

How cute are my little ones? I have the opportunity to educate these young minds and I couldn't be any more excited! My students are a part of the CMES community, being one of six Kindergarten classrooms, serving under a high-poverty area where 100% of our students receive free meals.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.-Dr. Seuss

CMES is a wonderful learning community, however the struggle lies with providing our students with the classroom resources they deserve! CMES is a School of Mathematics, dedicated to providing students with rigorous and meaningful learning opportunities, and is continually looking for ways to enhance not only the educational experience for EVERY child but also extending the same love and support into their daily lives beyond "these four walls". In fact, that is THIS Kindergarten teachers' MISSION and this is where it starts. With varying skill sets, ways of learning, home environments, and access to technology, these "Kindergarten Kiddos" are in NEED of nourishment through education.

Thank you for donating to my classroom as it contributes to positively impacting these little lives! It is truly, much appreciated!

My Project

Let's face it, sitting completely "still" can be quite a task. As a guideline some research suggests using a child’s age as a general starting point for the number of minutes a child can attend to a single assigned task…so five minutes for a five year old, seven minutes for a seven year old etc. If you have ever been in a Kindergarten classroom, you may have noticed that this reality, is quite possibly even a shorter time frame.

In efforts to help students "wiggle while they work", Wobble Chairs are a great flexible seating option that lets the child move (wobble) in a safe manner while still managing to stay on-task.

Each super-safe stool has a rounded base that allows kids a little movement while they sit—without tipping over! No more asking Little Johnny to sit still! Not to mention, it adds a little "pop" of color to the classroom.

Can you imagine a fidgety child's reaction to getting the opportunity to sit in a "moving chair"? I can literally see them 'wobbling' now!
