I have a very energetic class of 26 second graders. Each one is eager to learn. Sometimes my students have trouble sitting at their seats for an entire lesson. I currently have one balance ball for them to sit on and it works but there are often more than one student in need of a different seat. If I were able to get this project funded, I would use the wobble chairs, balance balls and seat cushions to help my students focus more during a lesson. These types of flexible seating will also help my students get some of their energy out without even having to get our of their seat. My students would love to have more flexible seating in the classroom!
