My Project

My students love to use the wobble stools during whole group lessons, independent work time, and differentiated small groups. Those who have trouble sitting still on the carpet use the stools and sit on them in the back row. This allows them to focus and not disrupt their classmates. It also keeps them engaged and participating in the lesson. This flexible seating option has changed my classroom dynamic and I see the benefits daily.

This will especially help my students who like to fidget and move around while they are learning and doing activities.

Thank you for supporting my 1st graders!
