Stability in the Classroom

Funded Dec 3, 2014

I cannot thank all of you enough for your generous donation that helped fund my Stability in the Classroom project. Although, my original goal was to have a class set, the original balls I ordered were too small and I had to go with the larger ones leaving me with only 8 in total. This actually worked out fine.

To introduce the balls to the students that would be using them, I told them they were chosen to be part of a pilot project for the school. I didn't want them to think they were being singled out because of their behavior and poor academics. They were thrilled! Immediately I saw an improvement. They were able to write for a longer duration, bouncing up and down and the students around them were not phased by the bouncing. The getting up and down has subsided substantially and the disrupting of the class has also decreased as well. Although not a miracle, definitely a GREAT improvement and a continued work in progress. It could not have happened without your generosity. So, again, I thank you! WE THANK YOU!!!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Pizzi-Derasmo
