Hocus Pocus, Help Us Focus!

My students need wobble chairs to improve their focus. Studies show that kids are more alert and focused when moving. Blood flow to the brain increases, posture is improved, and students can get the job done!

My Students

Our school community celebrates diversity, encourages compassion and empathy, and pushes children to see their potential and worth. My classroom is inclusive to all types of learners. Each student in our classroom has their own story and their own set of challenges. We—students, families, and teacher—work together to embrace these challenges, learn from them and how to use them as a learning advantage rather than a disadvantage.

No matter what they face, where they've come from, or what challenges await, my students' perseverance shines through and their passion for learning makes them unstoppable.

It's that drive and dedication that inspire me to rise to the occasion for them each day.

In our classroom, everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher.

My Project

Growing bodies crave movement, which creates a challenge when students are asked sit and concentrate on an activity for more than ten to fifteen minutes at a time. Wobble Chairs support the idea of active sitting and engage the students’ core and leg muscles, which strengthens and increases blood flow. With increased blood flow students receive more oxygen to the brain, thus improving focus and retention.

Active seating allows students to self-regulate their need to move in a non-disruptive way while meeting their body’s need for movement.

Currently, my classroom has one Wobble Chair. The student who primarily uses it has shown an increased ability to focus and is constantly moving without interrupting those around him, resulting in improved concentration, better behavior, and academic gains.

My students would use Wobble Chairs in our small group center rotations, reading groups, and as a positive reinforcement reward for meeting achievement and effort goals.
