I teach in a very rural community. My students are often the last to see or experience things. As a reading teacher I strive to keep my classroom current and active. I currently have some stability balls that are wonderful and keep students engaged; however are not extremely sturdy. These wobble stools would provide the same movement that so many of my students need to be successful in a more sturdy way. It is proven that students learn more when they are in a environment where they are comfortable and engaged. Something as simple as these stools could make a very positive impact on my departmentalized classroom that sees approximately 80-90 students per day.
