I want my room to be a place where students not only feel comfortable, but want to come and learn. I believe that by creating a more inviting learning environment I can really make a difference for the academic success of my students. Providing inflatable and stability ball chairs will create an environment where all students will learn and stay active and engaged. Kids need movement or alternative seating in the classroom. For some kids with a sensory processing disorder or ADHD, being in motion allows their brains to be engaged. Movement actually allows for engagement and attention. Because of the ball's instability constant movement is required in order to stay seated on the ball. The movement helps students focus. So rather than stop a child's need for movement, inflatable and ball chairs channel their energy in a positive way, allowing them to focus on their work more completely and reach their full potential as learners.
