My Project

Our classroom is a vibrant community of young learners who are full of energy and curiosity. Each student brings a unique perspective and a special spark to our learning environment. They are eager to explore, discover, and engage with the world around them. However, many of our students face challenges with focus and sensory regulation, which can impact their ability to stay engaged during lessons.

To support our active learners, we are seeking funding for wobble chairs.

These flexible seating seating options will allow students to move while they work, helping them to stay focused and comfortable. Wobble chairs provide a subtle way for students to release energy, which can improve concentration and posture. This is especially beneficial for students with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and other learning differences.

How Wobble Chairs Will Make a Difference

Wobble chairs will transform our classroom by:

1. Enhancing Focus: Allowing students to move while seated helps them to stay attentive and engaged during lessons.

2. Improving Posture: The design of wobble chairs encourages better posture, which can lead to improved physical health and comfort.

3. Supporting Sensory Needs: For students who need to fidget or move to concentrate, wobble chairs provide a safe and effective outlet.

4. Creating an Inclusive Environment: Flexible seating options like wobble chairs make our classroom more inclusive by accomodating diverse learning needs.

Goals for the Project

1. Support Active Learning: Provide students with seating that allows for movement , helping them to stay focused and engaged.

2. Promote Physical Health: Encourage better posture and physical comfort through ergonomic seating.

3. Foster an inclusive Classroom: Ensure all students regardless of their learning needs, have the tools the need to succeed.

By supporting this project, you are helping to create a learning environment where every student can thrive.
