One meaningful moment occurred during a small-group reading lesson when a student who often struggles to remain seated and engaged was able to use the wobble chair. The movement helped them regulate their body, stay focused, and fully participate in the lesson. At the same time, other students used clipboards and the slant board to improve posture and writing stamina, allowing them to attend more closely to the task and express their ideas.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, their reactions were filled with excitement and curiosity. They were eager to try everything and immediately noticed how the tools helped their bodies feel more comfortable and ready to learn. Several students shared that writing felt \"easier\" and that they could focus longer without feeling tired or frustrated. For students with disabilities, these simple supports made a powerful difference in their confidence and independence.\r\n\r\nThank you for your continued support of my classroom.
