Better Balance While Learning: Buoy Stools

The Description

With these funds I will add two "Buoy Stools" (like this example) to my classroom to help improve students balance and core strength without them even knowing it. Being comfortable while learning, these stools help students who need a bit of "movement" to finish school work. The slight movement provided on the stools also helps improve their balance and strengthen their cores. A healthier student makes for a better focused and happier student.

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase similar wobble stools through Amazon.

About the Creator

Creating a unique classroom learning environment, utilizing "flexible seating", my 5th graders
have eagerly taken over their space! They collaborate together, moving cushions and furniture to do so. I have one dry erase board and one smaller portable one. They use these DAILY, working around and over each other to try to get their thoughts on the board. They record their thinking using Chromebooks, screencastifying their data. My dry erase boards are NOT enough for them. I wish I could take them off the wall and make them portable!
Seeing mcSquares, this would be the answer to their needs! Having a wall designated for the movable squares, my students would use these daily and hourly, creating, collaborating, and sharing their work and asking each other questions.
McSquares really would further my vision for this classroom and for my future leaders.
