Students will use stability balls to sit on as they learn and work. Many of my students need to move and sitting is difficult for them. A stability ball as a seat will let them move and still learn. The movement can relax them and help them focus. Timers can help us with time management, transitions, and study skills. Stability balls and yoga mats can provide relaxation and focus for anxious students to help in the learning process. Yoga mats will be used to institute weekly yoga sessions to work on breathing and relaxation. This is essential for students that deal with anxiety on a daily basis. Thank you for providing a calming atmosphere!
