My Students

We like to move! My class of 30 second graders sure love to move. They love to be active and move around as much as possible. It is tough for them to sit still all day... even just for a short amount of time.

I teach an amazin group of second graders that are risk takers and ready to take on any challenge you put in front of them.

They are only 7 and 8 years old and sitting still in a chair, for most of the day, is tough. I want to give my amazing students a tool that will allow them the movement that is needed for them to stay focused and on task. Being able to subtly move in their seats will help many of my students maintain their attention, and this subtle movement will not disrupt the other students.

My Project

Hokki stools and bouncy chair bands are the new thing! We have a classroom down the hall who has a few of the stools and bands in their classroom and after rotating between classrooms (for science and social studies) my inquisitive students couldn't stop talking about how great they were. I borrowed a few to use in our classroom and they instantly fell in love with them. They asked and asked, begged and pleaded. They wanted those Hokki stools for our room. They asked "Can we please have our own for our classroom?" I could not let them down. After all, it was their idea and their idea was pretty great! I knew at that point, I needed to get Hokki stools for our classroom!

Flexible seating with Hokki Stools and bouncy bands is a great way to bring healthy lifestyles into our classroom all day.

Implementing this new flexible seating arrangement will allow my students to stay active for most of the school day each day, easily working towards being active 60 minutes a day. Hokki stools and bouncy bands are a no-brainer and the perfect solution! Exercise isn't just for recess anymore!

This kid-inspired project proposes comfortable options for seating while promoting healthy lifestyles.

We really do love Hokki stools because students have the opportunity to focus better while they learn. While sitting, students will be engaging their core on one of the Hokki stools or engaging those leg muscles while using them against the bouncy bands. These stools and bouncy bands provide students the opportunity to be exercise and stretch during our lessons each day. This small amount of movement helps students concentrate and maintain their focus.
