Wobble On in 7th Grade Classroom Music

Help me give my students wobble stools to help my middle school classroom music students focus & engage during class!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Zarchy's classroom raised $233

My Project

A variety of unique seating options in a middle school classroom music experience is essential for creating an inviting and functional learning environment. Comfortable and diverse seating arrangements not only make Room 123 a welcoming space but also the opportunity for non-performing students to have a positive year in middle school classroom music. Many of my students have Music 7 right before lunch, so the need to move is huge at this time of day! I am trying to be more responsive to their needs during class; one of the ways I want to achieve this is by offering some flexible seating options.

Giving 7th grade students the opportunity to fidget in their seats during classroom music is going to make a world of difference with their attention and engagement!

Wobble stools offer a unique seating solution that allows students to move and fidget comfortably while remaining focused and engaged in their learning. By offering an outlet for excess energy and promoting better posture, wobble stools can help improve focus, attention, and overall classroom participation. Additionally, for students with learning disabilities, such as ADHD or sensory processing challenges, these stools can make a significant difference.
