Yoga Ball Chairs Needed!

Help me give my students flexible seating to encourage learning, creativity and focus through stimulating seating alternatives.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Benton's classroom raised $380

My Project

I have a great bunch of students that are always eager in their approach to school. I want to encourage their enthusiasm by offering them seating options that will bring out the best in them. Seating alternatives help students focus as they have the opportunity to wiggle in their chairs. By allowing them to wiggle a bit, they are able to focus their attention on the task at hand.

A little bit of movement helps the brain settle down.

My students will be able to develop their self-confidence by finishing their work on time so they can show what they know. A little movement goes a long way to helping the mind feel at ease as it calms down.
