Today's 4th Graders have more to learn now than ever before. Technology has increased the volume and speed by which curriculum is taught, and it requires a great deal of concentration and focus. Yet while their worlds race on around them, they are still expected to sit quietly at a desk for 6+ hours. Nine and ten year old children are simply not built for sitting still! Research has shown that by providing students an opportunity to use their muscles, balance, and coordination while they are executing their daily tasks, performance and results improve exponentially. According to a 2010 article in Education World, "Teachers who swapped out traditional chairs for stability balls noticed a change in posture, enthusiasm for reading and other desk work and paying attention in general." The balls are used to help students sit up straight and engage the muscles and the parts of their brains needed to remain balanced on a large ball. Stability ball classroom chairs provide benefits ranging from quieter classrooms to more attentive and happier students.
