Creative Minds And Bodies Ready to Reach the Top

Funded Jan 21, 2019

My students and I are enjoying the seven balance ball chairs very much.

We are taking turns each day using the chairs. I see the excitement in the morning when a student realizes that they get to use the chair that day. Their faces light up and they carry such a positive attitude when using the balance ball chairs. Some of my students need less breaks and can concentrate for a longer amount of time. Other students are bouncing occasionally through a lesson and displaying excellent and creative work.

My students first reacted to the balance balls chairs with awe. They could not believe that they were here so quickly. It felt like Christmas morning in my classroom that day! We talked about how to use the chair and how not to use it. I had students try it out and they immediately loved them. We found a very diplomatic way to decide who would use it the balls first that day. Everyone was comfortable with that system. Now the students know that their turn is every couple days which gives my students something else to look forward to.

I love making my students feel special, so I am so thankful for these seven balance ball chairs. My next project has not been decided yet but it will be one that helps my students grow and flourish.
