Small group math and reading instruction are the two most important hours of our day. As a non-accredited school, the pressure is on to show growth in each of those subject areas. Remaining still and focused during that time is a lot to ask of sixteen kiddos who are always on the move. Effective educators know that when something isn't working, we change it! That is why I would love the opportunity to provide my students with a way to move while also allowing them to remain focused and engaged during critical instruction. I'm requesting a Flex-Space Wobble Chair bundle to give my students flexible seating. Be a part of our growth and success by donating or sharing. We can't wait to wobble while we work!
