Ever feel like you were not able to sit still? Imagine what a 9 year old feels like sitting still in a chair for 6 hours a day. Exercise balls provide students with the chance to get their wiggles out, stay alert, and awake! When your body's engaged, your brain's engaged! My students need 30 exercise balls to get the wiggles out, stay alert, and stay awake. We will use them as chairs! My wish is to have our classroom use exercise balls as chairs. Exercise balls will make it so that students are alert and will provide students the chance to move. I believe that if bodies are engaged, then brains are engaged! Students will be more alert members in our classroom with more time to grow as learners.
