Throughout the COVID-19 fallout, my students have appreciated any in-person learning time that they can get. Even though students are engaged and happy to be back in the classroom, their time away has led to some pretty serious gaps in their learning. The number one problem I am facing in the classroom is the lack of student stamina when it comes to learning. My students shut down after about 20 minutes of focused work. It seems to me that they have lost that important skill of staying with a task for an extended period of time. They simply have not had the opportunity to practice that skill while at home during virtual learning. The classroom they are coming back into requires them to be performing for extended periods of time, but their mental focus is now at a deficit due to the fact that they have not had consistent practice since the 5th grade. It is my hope that these yoga balls will help the students to increase their focus during lessons to maximize student performance. The integration of flexible seating will help them build upon their stamina to successfully complete learning objectives at the 8th grade level. I have such a short time with my students to help prepare them for the rigors of high school, and I am certain this project will make a difference.
