We've been using them during our small-group reading and math lessons, and the students love having the option to move their bodies while they learn.\r\n\r\nWhen the stools came out of the boxes, the kids were buzzing with excitement. Many of them had never used wobble stools before, so there were lots of giggles and \"Whoa, look what I can do!\" moments. After the first few wiggles, they immediately settled into using them the right way—proud to have \"big kid\" furniture that helps them learn.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're working through guided reading groups and hands-on math centers. The wobble stools are helping students stay engaged at the teacher table, especially those who need a little movement to focus. Our next step is diving into nonfiction reading skills, where students will rotate through small groups to practice text features and main ideas. These stools will support them through every lesson, giving them the focus and confidence they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making our classroom a more supportive and joyful place to learn.
