I am requesting stability balls for my students. Some of the benefits for using these as seats are: increased attention and concentration, better posture, a greater awareness of health and wellness through movement, strengthen to core and back muscles, and an increase in balance and coordination. "The more closely we consider the elaborate interplay of brain and body, the more clearly one compelling theme emerges; movement is essential to learning. Movement awakens and activates many of our mental capacities. Movement integrates and anchors new information and experience into our neural networks." Excerpt from: Smart Moves - Why Learning Is Not All In Your Head Carla Hannaford, Ph.D. Neurophysiologist and educator. By simply giving these students a stability ball, we are allowing them to have more focus on their academics, as well as increase their body movement.
