After reading multiple articles about flexible classroom seating, last year I purchased one stability ball for my high school classroom as an experiment, and having it made a huge difference! Every single class used it daily. Using it was based on a "first come, first use" procedure so different students used it daily. It was such a success, I want to increase options for my students this year. Research shows "there is power for students in the choice to select where they will work, students know the work isn’t optional, but choosing where they work is" so know your generous donation will help improve student focus and ultimately increase academic achievement. I have other flexible seating choices that I've been collecting and repainting this summer, but having the 4 colorful learning stools and two stability ball seats will offer professionally amazing options to our classroom seating! With your help my students will be able to focus on their assignments instead of having fidget spinners in their hands.
