Help me give my students the opportunity to choose flexible seating options that will allow students to focus while learning. Sitting on Wobble Stools allows students to get the wiggles and wobbles out but still be able to focus. Flexible seating allows students to wobble, rock, bounce, lean, or stand, which increases oxygen flow to the brain, blood flow, and core strength. An uncomfortable chair can lead to distracted and unproductive learners. Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused, and productive. Wobble stools are just one of the many flexible seating options I will have in my classroom.
