My Students

Have you ever found yourself antsy during a long seminar or meeting? This is a typical feeling for many 2nd grade students in my classroom as they do their best to attend and engage in learning throughout the day. I've observed this first hand throughout the past 8 years as a classroom teacher.

My students come to school energetic and eager to learn, but it's difficult to maintain attention throughout the day with limited recesses and movement.

I consistently implement brain breaks, interactive learning, and movement into my classroom to help keep my students' focus and attention alive, but they still need more! Each student has a unique brain chemistry that directs their attention and need for sensory input. For some students it can be a real struggle to stay focused throughout the day. The sensory stools that I'm requesting would help all of my students, especially those with unique attentional and sensory needs, to maintain stamina and focus throughout the day. Better focus transpires into more learning and success! By having these seating options in our classroom they will support students in reaching their goals and heighten their enjoyment of school!

My Project

These wobble stools will be used throughout the entire school day for the majority, if not all, of my students. They will be used at students' seats in place of a traditional classroom chair. The purpose of having these stools as a seating option is to enable my students to try something out to help satisfy their extra energy output.

These wobble stools will benefit at least 6 students in my classroom at one time, namely those who struggle with remaining focused during small group and independent work times.

These stools have the potential to increase engagement, focus, motivation, and enjoyment of school. I have used t-stools and bumpy seats in the past and have seen a noticeable difference in students' attention and focus. These stools will be able to be used for many years and will help students see that we all need different things to help us learn best!
