Wobble While We Read

My students need wobble stools to help with their energetic bodies during our small group reading times throughout the week.

My Students

My students are a mixed group of successful, determined, and energetic learners. As a school, we are at 40% free/reduced lunch. I have a high energy group that has a strong will to learn and a curiosity about how things work. My second graders come from various different backgrounds and have different levels of previous knowledge. They have different levels of motivation for reading and academics in general. My students are always eager to learn and are a great group.

My Project

My students currently have a choice between sitting on a yoga ball, a stool, or a wobble cushion at their desk. At my reading table, they have regular chairs with padded cushions to sit on. I notice a lot of my students wanting to lean in the regular chairs while they are working which can be unsafe for the child. I believe these wobble seats are a safer choice and also gives another option to my flexible seating classroom.

These stools will help my students focus on their work while also releasing their wiggles during our reading group times throughout the week.

I can tell the positive difference in focus levels just through the flexible seating choices and the regular chairs with cushions. My students work better with chairs that are able to move as opposed to the traditional classroom chair.
