This year, my class needs more seating options than in previous years. We have lots of energy, and a limited amount of ways to burn it in the classroom. I’ve purchased a couple wobble chairs for my classroom this year. I have one student with ADHD, and it helps him focus during class. As the year has progressed, I’ve acquired a few autistic children, and they could use a wobble chair as well. With the cost of them being so high, I’ve only been able to purchase two. I would love a classroom set! The wobble chairs not only help children focus, but also help develop their core muscles. Strong core muscles help children have good posture, and also helps with fine and gross motor skills!
