These chair band and balance balls will help my students stay focused during long hours of instruction in a reading classroom. My students will surely take advantage of this new initiative to help them feel comfortable while promoting physical health and commitment to learning. Flexible seating will also help my students feel empowered by gaining some degree of choice and control over their learning environment. During my class, my students often participate in different types of activities like collaboration and hands-on activities as well as moving around and accomplishing tasks. Having the requested ball chairs and resistance bands in my classroom will make it easier to accomplish these goals with a higher degree of quality.
