Flexible Seating for Third Graders
Funded Sep 28, 2021The exercise balls that were purchased for my students have made an incredible impact on my students' work in the classroom. They have been able to move their bodies while also demonstrating better focus during assignments and lessons. Having to have students separated during lessons and not being able to meet at the rug provides a deeper challenge of engagement during lessons. Having the exercise balls allows students to fidget while keeping focus on the task at hand.
Don't take it from me though, here are some statements from my students about how they are liking having the exercise balls! "The exercise balls are amazing because when I sit in a chair it's hard and solid but when I got these exercise balls I felt comfortable and new and I thank you so much for donating money for us to feel comfortable in school, I appreciate you for doing things nice in this world I don't know how to thank you enough. Thank you so much." "The exercise balls are great because they feel good to sit on." " The exercise balls are great because when I come in and I'm tired I can stretch on the ball and when I bounce it makes me less tired. That's why they are great, thank you for getting the exercise balls for us."
I have seen more positivity amongst my students, better testing scores, and even fewer complaints of aches and pains. Students are able to choose to use the ball or a traditional chair, out of 14 students only one consistently chooses a chair. My third graders and I are incredibly thankful for the generous donations that you made.”
