These wobble seats are already making a difference to my students and are something they really enjoy.\r\n When my students first saw the number of seats in our class had doubled, they were ecstatic! They were so excited to see them in our classroom and could not wait to use them in our room. \r\n As we have been working on a class novel, they look forward to being able to use the wobble spots every day. With now 14 wobble spots, over half of my students can use them each class period.
