Stability Balls for Active Students in Language Immersion Program
Funded Oct 9, 2017
We did it! Within just two weeks you helped to fund an initiative that will have a positive impact on student learning.
Our students will soon be learning in a new way that will improve focus, relieve stress, and allow for a more relaxed and enhanced classroom environment. Learning on stability balls has been proven to increase focus and enhance learning as students engage their core muscles and get to
move...as kids are meant to.
I am so grateful for the overwhelming support for this project.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Oakley

This project will make a difference to my students in that it will allow me to perform many quick assessments throughout the day. Students are learning to be strong writers by, among other things, learning writing conventions and grammar skills. Collecting a variety of formative assessments provides the data that allows me to target instruction at what each child needs to develop critical skills. Using whiteboards as an alternative to paper and pencil also provides a different tactile experience, which will benefit students are engaged in highly focused work for long periods. These students needs movement breaks and the opportunities to share their work with their peers.
