My Project

Chair Balls in the Classroom...the instability of a chair ball can keep students more alert and engaged. They may find it easier to concentrate while subtly adjusting their balance and the physical activity involved in balancing on a chair ball can help reduce stress levels and provide a more relaxed atmosphere for learning. Positive Affirmations in the Classroom. Journals that incorporate positive affirmations into daily routines can enhance students' self-esteem. Phrases like "I am capable" or "I can overcome challenges" help foster a growth mindset and regular practice of affirmations can help students develop resilience, reminding them that challenges are part of the learning process.
