Stability Balls

My students need stability balls to help them focus. Many students need flexible seating to allow them to move around while learning. These balls will allow my students to be more active while learning.

My Students

My students attend a Title One School in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Many of my students live in homes with a single working parent, and some of my students' parents are incarcerated. These children do need support from teachers and community leaders to help them be their best.

Forty percent of my class is composed of English Language Learners, and twenty percent is African American.

These children often struggle, because they do not have the supports at home to help them learn. All of my students are precious motivated children who simply lack the resources they need to teach their full potential.

My Project

Not all students need the same things, and many of my students need a more flexible seating environment. These balls will provide positive environment and flexible seating in my classroom, so all students can reach their potential. Some children need to move around more than others. Neither the school, nor my students' parents have the resources to purchase stability balls. My students need these ball, so their needs can be met while they are learning.

These seats will motivate my students to learn by accommodating their need to be physically active while learning.

Overall, these balls will improve the learning opportunities for all students.
