My Students

Where do you do your best work? I bet it isn't in a stiff chair that makes you uncomfortable. Most people do their best work when they are comfortable. I'd like my students to be able to do their best work, which requires a way to make their time working more comfortable.

I have an incredible class of hard working fourth graders.

Like most kids, my students are very active and don't like to sit in their desks all day so we tend to do a lot of learning on the carpet. However, when it is time for them to do work at their desks, it is difficult for them to stay focused because of the uncomfortable chairs. On any given day, you can see my students shifting in their seats trying to find a way to sit comfortably so they can complete their work. Some of my students would rather stand and lean over their desks instead of sitting in the chair because of how uncomfortable it is for them. A few of my students have a lot of trouble sitting still long enough to complete the assignment. When they are working, they are always trying to find reasons to get up and out of their seats and move around.

My Project

These balance cushions will help with two problems my students have while working at their seats. For all of the students who use them, it will help them to be more comfortable. By being more comfortable, they will be more able to focus on their work. It will also help some of my more active students. The balance cushions are commonly used in classrooms as "wiggle cushions". They allow students to move around on the chairs to get out some of their energy without having to cause a distraction to the other students.

These wiggle cushions will help the students to be more comfortable while working at their seats.

For most of the students, the cushion will be enough to help them become more comfortable, but for my overly active students, it will be nice that they can wiggle on the cushions to get some of their energy out without disrupting their classmates or leaving the assignment.
