Stability balls in place of chairs are the best way to increase movement in the classroom. It is a difficult job transitioning back into the school year from summer break, where bed times are often non-existent and the longest the children sit down is a 5 minute car ride to the park. This transition has taken a toll on my little ones, and students have been struggling to stay awake, pay attention, and stay in their chair. Movement in a classroom is important to keep my little 6 year old students awake and engaged during lessons. Sitting on a stability ball opposed to a chair requires engaged muscles which increases brain functioning, which also increases learning! It also improves posture, strengthens their core, keeps them focused, and improves gross and fine motor skills. My students need your help to make the transition to a more exciting and effective classroom!
