My Project

Children need to wiggle, move around, and be comfortable to better focus on their studies. This is especially true for my kindergarten class. We currently have traditional seating and a few wobble stools. Last year I added the wobble stools and found that young children really prefer them over traditional seating. They were able to wiggle a bit and still focus on their work without disturbing others. This year I would love to add more seating options for my students. The items in this project will give our students more flexible seating options to ensure they can learn and enjoy their first year of elementary school.
