The Description

With these funds I will add a modern and comfortable wobble chair that will allow student movement while sitting.  I want to give my students that struggle with attention and concentration a tool that will optimize their learning experience.  This chair will provide opportunities for student movement to occur during instruction and independent seat work. This Kore Wobble Chair is available from Amazon.com for $69.95.   Additionally, I would like to acquire an Abilitations Pencil Set with Fidgets.  This set includes pencil toppers that have various gadgets on them providing a manipulative for the student to fidget with.  This pencil set is available from Amazon.com for $10.79.  Last but not least, I will purchase 3 Tangle Relax Therapy materials for my students.  I will purchase these from Amazon.com at the price of $6.21 each.  I anticipate the pencil fidgets and tangle relax therapy tools assisting my students that desperately need a learning tool that will encourage their impulse to move while increasing their ability to maintain on task.

Thank you for supporting this project! I was able to purchase 5 Tangles for my students! Tangles is a neat object that lets an active child quietly manipulate it.  Tangles can be twisted, wadded up, and unwound. Students that feel stressed, anxious, or upset greatly benefit from these new manipulative so.  Once again, thank you for supporting our educational endeavors!
