Many students sit in a chair all day long. As professionals, we understand that sitting all day long can cause you to be restless and unmotivated. This is why I love to provide my students with alternative seating options. The trideer exercise balls and bases are perfect seating options for students who need another option! They love it because it gives them choice! I recently purchased an exercise ball and it seems to be the most effective seating option I have in my classroom currently. I would love to get a few more to be able to provide one per table in my classroom so more students have a choice and/or option of seating in my classroom.
