My Students

We like to move it, move it! -- while we balance our minds! My class of 25 second graders sure love to move. They LOVE to be active, bounce, AND move around as much as possible. It is tough for them to sit still all day... even just for a short amount of time.

I teach an AMAZING group of second graders that are risk takers and ready to take on any challenge you put in front of them.

They are only 7 and 8 years old and sitting still in a chair, for most of the day, is tough. I want to give my students the tools they need that will allow them the movement that is needed for them to stay focused and on task. Being able to subtly move in their seats will help many of my students maintain their attention, and this subtle movement will not disrupt the other students.

My Project

Gaiam Balance Disc Wobble Cushion Stability Core Trainer for Kids Seats are the new thing! We have a 1st grade classroom down the hall who has a few of these seats in their classroom and my inquisitive students wanted them again in their 2nd grade classroom. I borrowed a few and they instantly fell right back in love with them. They asked and asked, begged and pleaded. They wanted those Gaiam Balance Disc Wobble Cushion Stability Core Trainer for Kids Seats for our room. I could not let them down. I knew at that point, I needed to get Gaiam Balance Disc Wobble Cushion Stability Core Trainer for Kids Seats for our classroom!

Flexible seating is a great way to bring healthy lifestyles into our classroom and promote focused instruction at the same time.

Implementing this new flexible seating arrangement will allow my students to stay active for most of the school day each day. Gaiam Balance Disc Wobble Cushion Stability Core Trainer for Kids Seats are a no-brainer and the perfect solution to those wiggles and movements my students need to get out during the day! Exercise isn't just for recess anymore!

This kid-inspired project proposes comfortable options for seating while promoting healthy lifestyles and focused learning.

We really do LOVE Gaiam Balance Disc Wobble Cushion Stability Core Trainer for Kids Seats because students have the opportunity to focus better WHILE they learn. While sitting, students will be engaging their core on one of the 4 Gaiam Balance Disc Wobble Cushion Stability Core Trainer for Kids Seats. These stools provide students the opportunity to be exercise and stretch during our lessons each day. This small amount of movement helps students concentrate and maintain their focus.

Amazing!
