Wobble While We Work: Flexible Seating for a Better Classroom

Help me give my students wobble stools to help with focus, moving and sitting safely.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Steph's classroom raised $824

My Project

My students are energetic, curious, and full of potential. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wide range of learning styles to our classroom. Many of them thrive when given choices, especially regarding how and where they learn best. They are eager to engage in meaningful work, and with the right tools, they can do amazing things.

This project will provide my classroom with wobble stools to support flexible seating.

Wobble stools are dynamic seats that allow students to move gently while they work, encouraging both focus and physical activity.

Traditional chairs can be limiting, especially for students who need to fidget or move in order to concentrate. Wobble stools offer a healthy outlet for this natural energy. With these stools, students can rock, tilt, and turn in a controlled way that keeps them engaged without distracting others.

Flexible seating promotes better focus and attention, especially for students with ADHD or sensory needs. It encourages core strength and better posture and also allows students to take ownership of their learning space. It also supports collaboration and comfort during group activities.

By funding this project, you’ll give my students the freedom to move, the comfort to focus, and the confidence to succeed. These wobble stools will not only transform our classroom but also how students feel about learning.

Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping students thrive in an environment that meets their unique needs. Your donation will directly impact how they learn, grow, and succeed every day.
