These Hokki stools will support my naturally wiggly second graders in providing them with some natural movement while sitting so that they can keep on wiggling while writing, reading, and working on math. While I believe all of my students (and even the teacher!) will enjoy this movement while sitting, specifically my students with hyperactivity or sensory needs will benefit the most, allowing them to more fully engage and participate in the seated classroom activities instead of having to take away from the group/activity movement/sensory breaks. These lightweight and low profile stools also allow students to move them wherever they need.
