We Wiggle, We Wobble, We Learn!

My students need four wobble chairs. These wobble chairs will help the students get their wiggles out so that they can focus during guided reading, writing, and guided math.

My Students

First grade has changed a lot over the years. The students are expected to achieve more than ever before. How can they do this without being provided the materials to do it?

My students are in a high poverty public school that is over 70% low income.

This is something that already puts them at a disadvantage. They are not able to get extra materials at home to continue learning what has been introduced at school. For this reason, I want to be able to expose them to as many learning opportunities as possible! It is in my classroom where they get to take risks and open their minds to new learning experiences! I need your help to give them all of these experiences!

My Project

My students have 60 minutes of math daily. During this time, the students are actively engaged in math work stations. While they are working, I pull groups of students for guided math. These wobble chairs will be used by the students while at this small group table. My students also have 60 minutes of reading and 50 minutes of writing daily. During these times, I pull groups of students for guided reading and writing conferences. These groups also meet at our small group table. In first grade, there are a lot of academic expectations. It has become difficult for many students to focus the whole time during these academic times. These wobble chairs will allow my students to "get their wiggles out" while continuing their work at the small group table.

These chairs will especially be great for my students with ADD and ADHD.

However, they will greatly benefit EVERYONE in the class. Please help me to get these items for my students' success!
