They can wiggle their feet and wobble to help them stay engaged. The students look so comfortable and relaxed while they use a wobble disc and read. They love to choose which stool they like the most and either sit at the small group table or use them at their desks. Sometimes they even use both at the same time!\r\n Without your generous donation, this could not have been possible for my students.
