A lot of the learning in our room takes place in small groups; however, we take whole group learning time very seriously. We use the time we have together as a whole group to have discussions, share ideas, and help each other with questions we may have. With these materials, we will be able to create a comfy whole group space in our room where we can all stay focused during lessons and discussions and learn at our best. The wobble cushions will be used for the most wiggly of students to keep them focused on their own work and less of a distraction to their friends.
