If you’re on Instagram, chances are you’ve seen these scoop rockers in action. Teachers everywhere are using them for their classroom library areas, independent work, and center seating. Many of the teachers who hopped on the trend bought the rockers at Big Lots, but they’re also available at Amazon for around $50 for a six-pack.

So what is all the fuss about? Teachers say that kids love to sit in the scoop rockers. They also provide a low-profile, inexpensive option for alternative seating. Here are some of our favorite ways that we’ve seen teachers use the scoop rockers in their classrooms.
