In the past, we have given students with ADHD regular exercise balls to help them focus. These balls proved to be effective in allowing them to wiggle around while in class. The only downside was that the exercise balls could be squeaky and students could even slide/fall off of them. Over the last few years, they have come up with safer and more efficient options. The 8 stools I am requesting have a convex base that allows movement in all directions. My students will be able to safely sit at their desk while burning off some excess energy. The movement that students will be able to do on these chairs will help create a positive learning environment. The cushions can be added to any chair, yet still promote movement. The bouncy band and balance ball seat will give students another option to move and learn. They will be able to focus longer, retain more, and be more likely to succeed in school. Having alternative seating in my classroom will help my students engage and break barriers; they will learn to move and move to learn. Every year, I get new students with unique learning styles. These seating options will be used with this years' students as well as future students. This project will continue to help students for years. As a teacher, I want to make sure I have a variety seating choices to allow students to find their best learning environment and learn to their highest potential. With these alternative seating options, my students will be able to discover their best learning environment. Additionally, they will be able to move while they learn.
