Please help me to set up my classroom to allow and encourage productive movement! Middle school students are still growing and maturing--sitting still for long periods of time is a struggle for most. Some act out once they reach their limit; others lean or balance on their chairs in ways that are unsafe. The wobble stools allow students to wobble and wiggle in their seats, but because they are designed to do exactly that, they won't tip over. The chair bands give students something to kick or bounce their feet on that is still quieter and less disruptive than tapping their foot on the floor. The floor cushions give students another seating option where they can stretch out without having to sit on our cement floor.
