My Students

My students are from rural West Virginia. As with many kids, these students need constant reminders on how to sit while learning. These students are in elementary school and do not always know how to control themselves.

Many of my students need special chairs to help them move without distracting the class.

These students would benefit from having alternate, especially those students who have a hard time sitting still. Wobble chairs will help to increase their time focusing on school related work.

My Project

Some students need a different type of seating to be able to learn. Wobble stools and chair bands will allow my students to choose the type of seating that works best for them. Some students are in constant motion and can use a special chair to release some energy as they learn, while other students need a regular chair. A student can choose between a wobble chair, chair with a chair band, or a regular chair. By choosing their own chair for their specific needs, students can be more engaged in their learning.
