Wobbly Seats for Wiggly Firsties: Alternative Seating
My students need alternative seating (wobble chairs) because students today require more physical activity to help them stay focused during lessons, instruction and independent work time.
I have a classroom filled with 24 adorable, bouncing and energetic first graders. Our school is a "fully included" school, meaning that every class has students with special and independent needs. My desire is to build a classroom that meets the physical and academic needs of every child.
Some students learn best when standing; others learn best when rocking or tipping.
Our students need to move. These seats allow our kinesthetic learners to engage their core, enabling their bodies and minds to fully connect the learner to the classroom. No more can we expect students to sit still and focus when so many students today are being identified with various learning challenges. Please consider funding my project and helping to make every student's learning experience more successful.
My Project
The Kids Kore Wobble seats will allow my students to sit at their desks while still being able to be active and move their bodies without disrupting others around them. These seats are an alternative to the standard issue chairs that the school provides. Standard chairs are hard and allow for only one seated position, often leading to falls when students tip and try to find other positions that further engage their bodies while learning. The Kids Kore Wobble seats allow for natural movement and removes the risk of falls. Students can sit comfortably while engaging their core muscles, tip back and forth and they are able to turn from side to side while being safe in their chair. This is an alternative seating dream come true.
Having the Kids Kore Wobble seats in my classroom will allow all of my students to actively engage in the curriculum while sitting safely while still moving their bodies.
No more "sit still and pay attention" in my classroom because students will have the ability to move freely in their seats.
