We will use these wobble stools during our small- group instruction time with our kids who are on individual education plans. Often students are uncomfortable and it is unhealthy having students sit for a long periods of time. This alternative seating option will make a difference in our classroom because students will be able to sit at their tables and have the opportunity to move their bodies. With limited time for recess and lunch, I believe students need to have the choice to move their bodies to fully be able to focus their brains on academics while their brains and bodies grow.
