Yoga stability balls drastically help students who struggle sitting still stay focused on their work instead of fidgeting around! Floor cushions help students while choosing a 'smart spot' for independent reading around the classroom! Independent reading is a vital concept I try to integrate into my classroom...students are able to choose a 'smart spot' where ever they would like and read a book of choice to encourage a love for reading. This project would drastically improve my students engagement and focus for reading! I currently have one bean bag in my classroom that was actually from my parent's basement. The bag is over twenty years old and is currently held together with duct tape with beans falling out....still doesn't stop it from being a fan-favorite during independent work time but new chairs would definitely be a hit! Yoga mats were actually a student suggestion! This particular student was considered an "at-risk" student who mentioned how helpful being able to lay and use the seat cushions in my classroom to read helped him finish an entire book. He suggested yoga mats for students to use on the tile floor. Body/Floor Pillows were another student suggestion. One of my "high-achieving" students suggested getting a body pillow so she could prop it against the wall to enjoy her independent reading book every Friday!
