I have the hardest working 5th graders who are setting goals to achieve major academic goals but sometimes it can be hard to sit in a desk and chair most of the day. I plan for movement and allow students to work throughout the room but sometimes that is just not enough. I have several students who can lose focus after a very short time. Flexible seating is increasing in classrooms and I want to be able to provide this type of seating for my students, especially for my students that struggle with attention and focus.
Wobble chairs are a perfect way to offer my students a chance to wiggle while they work! I have seen the effectiveness of flexible seating (that include wobble chairs) in other classrooms. My goal is to acquire 6 wobble chairs so that all my students can wiggle while they work at our small group table. My small group table is used several times throughout the day which would give all my students a chance to wiggle and stay focused during our group time.
