Many districts are transforming to replace classroom chairs with stability balls because of the many benefits. Unfortunately, my district doesn't have the funding for resources like these. Movement is essential to learning, and these stability balls will activate learning by allowing movement in appropriate ways--right at their desks during instruction. It has been proven to increase frustration tolerance and keep students on task therefore increasing confidence and self esteem. As I stated above, my school does not have a gym which means we often times have P.E. in our classroom when it's raining or too cold . I can also see the stability balls being used during these times. In my classroom I want my students to feel free to focus on learning in a fun and engaging way. This too can also help fight the obesity many of our students are at risk of from lack of movement. You can make a difference by activating learning for my students today.
