Wobble chair seating allows students to choose their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Students are choose to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable motivates them. Children make good choices about flexible seating and are more engaged. They get more work completed than when they are just sitting at a regular chair. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work. The wobble chairs are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be helpful for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
