This next GAF Classroom Grants spotlight features Heartland Elementary School! Nicolette Pollack requested wobble feet for desks in her classroom to encourage student movement while learning. Ms. Pollack describes wobble feet as, "a flexible seating option for students in the classroom setting to provide movement in a discrete way because they attach to their desk chair. They have also provided students who need movement to focus an option in the classroom without missing out on instructional time by taking a break outside of the classroom."
The result of providing this type of movement in the classroom was immediate. "Students have been better able to access their educational opportunities because they no longer need to leave the classroom to meet their need for movement. This has also benefitted students in the classroom as a whole, as they have been exposed to different tools and accommodations, which builds their understanding and empathy for students with special needs."
Students even provided personal testimonials!
Kindergartener: "I like it because it's wobbly and it's fun. It helps me focus when I'm working because I'm moving."
Second Grader: "It is very fun because I get to wiggle around and when I need to get my energy out, I can wobble in it. Five stars"
Third Grader: "They are pretty satisfying to use."
Fifth Grader: "Wobble feet are good if you are very energetic, but they tend to fall off. 4.5 stars"
