My Students

My students have loved the Hokki stools we received through donors choose, and now everyone needs a seat to keep them awake,and aware during groups!!

I have an very diverse, and exciting group of students in my class this year!

I have four boys and four girls, which is more girls than I have ever had in my 6 years of teaching! My classroom is a self contained Intensive Intervention classroom, and my students have a variety of exceptionalities ranging from Autism to Intellectually Disabled. My students enjoy art, music, and exciting academics that engage their minds and bodies!

My Project

The students in my classroom are have active minds and bodies, and struggle to sit still in their desks or at a table. The "Hokki" wobble stools that we have in classroom really help the kids be aware of their bodies, and focus in groups. I have students with Attention Deficit disorder, and Autism who struggle with controlling their gross motor movements. They will often stand us with their knee in their chair, lay on their desks, or put their heads down on the desk.

When sitting on a wobble stool they are forced to engage their core, and be aware of their body.

The wobble stools make it almost impossible for them to fall asleep, or lay down on their desks. When my students are sitting up straight they are more likely to have their "brain in the group" and be focused on the task at hand. I have seen a major difference in my "wiggle worms" with the use of the three "Hokki" stools I have in classroom, and would love to see the difference in all of my kids!
