Having all of these materials available will create a more comfortable work space or bubble for students, as opposed to having only a table a chair to sit at. The balance balls will provide a flexible seating option. Since we will be socially distancing, there will be limited movement throughout the classroom. Balance balls will allow for the littles to get their wiggles out by bouncing, rocking, and rolling while keeping in their assigned work area. The balls also provide for healthy posture and may improve focus and concentration. The Yoga mats will also be available in their assigned area so kiddos can stretch out and work on the floor if they choose to do so. While these materials will provide a comfortable and flexible work space that will help us to get the wiggles out, we will also make good use of them by practicing guided yoga and mindfulness throughout the day to promote positive body image and to calm our bodies and minds. The blocks will be used to practice stability and balance and will help with posturing when seated. All these resources will be available for students to use freely throughout the day. It is hoped that students will develop healthy skills and practices that will serve them for a lifetime. Due to the pandemic, I am requesting one balance ball, yoga mat, and block for each child. Items will not be shared among students for health and safety reasons. Typically we could set these items up in a center and they could be shared, however, sharing items is restricted at this time.
