My Students

Do you remember what it was like to try and sit in your seat all day?

Our school is located on a military base and our students like to be active not only outside but inside too.

They like to move and get going with action based learning. In addition to being active, they are avid readers, writers, scientists, and explorers!

My Project

I am requesting 25 exercise balls for my first graders to use instead of standard chairs. Research has shown that when kids are moving, they are learning! Students that feel the need to move when they are listening and working can do it when sitting on an exercise ball. If you help with getting this resource, children will be positively and greatly impacted in their learning.

You can help!

Action while learning is so important and your donation will be helping a child learn better while moving. Having these exercise balls to sit on, instead of chairs, will impact student learning!
