We use them during small group math lessons, independent reading time, and even during whole group instruction when a student needs help staying focused. One moment that really stood out was during a math review, usually a tough time for a few students, but with the wobble stools, they are able to stay focused and on task the entire lesson.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the stools, their faces lit up. They were so excited that they immediately started asking, \"Can I sit on one today?\" and now they compete in a friendly way to have a turn. For some of my students who struggle with attention and sitting still, these stools have become their favorite tool because it helps them move just enough to stay focused without being distracting.\r\n\r\nYour contribution gave you a peek into our daily routines, and I want you to know how much it has mattered. The next steps for my students include using the stools during small group time with me and during rotation stations. Having flexible seating keeps them engaged and helps them collaborate better. I'm excited to see how much more they can accomplish with these supports in place.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping create a classroom where every student can learn comfortably and confidently.
