Wobble While We Work

Help me give my students these wobble chairs for movement breaks during a very stationary school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lazarus's classroom raised $485

My Students

My students are a very special group of children. We are the epitome of a melting pot school. We have children from five out of the seven continents.

Each child brings something special from their culture to the classroom.

Our class is also filled with a variety of different types of learners. They are always striving to do their best. We work hard but have fun doing it.

We are using a blended model. I will have 11 students fully remote and the rest of the kids will be broken up into two cohorts alternating in-person days.

My Project

Every year we have the same struggle...trying to stay still in our seats. Our seats are hard chairs that would make it impossible for anybody stay still in them. They are very uncomfortable. This school year it is even worse!

This school year we are very limited in our daily movement.

Due to Covid 19, my children do not have physical education and daily recess. We do our best to go outside, when the weather is acceptable.

Everyday we work on our social emotional learning. A big part of that is engaging the children in movement. The children are confined to their chairs for the majority of the day. Kids have a ton of potential energy and these chairs will help them convert it to kinetic energy.

This is from a product description, "CONCEPT of an exercise ball applied to a kids stool - genius!" The chairs will allow the children to get their energy. When they move, so will the chair. It will also help improve the posture of the students. They will get a workout just by sitting!
