My Students

I teach a wonderful group of second grade students. They are excited to come to school each day and to learn from one another. They have positive attitudes and are always up for a challenge.

My students are 7-8 years old, and sitting still all day is difficult for them.

I want to change that by using flexible seating to incorporate movement into our daily routine and to promote a healthy lifestyle for my students. I want them to dive into the learning, and allowing them to move in their seat will help them maintain focus for the tasks at hand.

My Project

Second graders are extremely energetic and very wiggly! They live by the mantra, Wiggle While We Work, and are the source of this kid inspired project. My students often ask for standing breaks as it is challenging for many of my students to sit in their chairs all day long, and who can blame them. To solve this dilemma, I want to provide 12 Kore Wobble chairs to rotate amongst my students. This alternative seating will provide a unique option for students who need to wiggle in order to stay fully engaged with the learning process. Wobble chairs help kids move around in a quiet way. They will allow students to be much more comfortable, while increasing blood flow to their brain through movement. This will greatly enhance their attention spans and help kids who are restless or fidgetyThe chairs are designed to allow movement, 360 degrees, without having the risk of students falling over!

Incorporating Kore Wobble chairs in our classroom will promote healthy lifestyles because students will move through out the entire day, not just at recess.

It will make the goal of being active for at least 60 minutes a day attainable for kids because movement will be built into times when they would otherwise be sitting. This movement will allow students to remain fully engaged in the learning process while getting meeting their physical need to move.
