Twenty-six fourth grade students in one room all day can get tight! Students need movement throughout the day in order for their brains to work their best. Balance ball chairs are a wonderful way to help students move even when they are busy working. Minds are active and engaged while learning is taking place. One study in the "American Journal of Occupational Therapy" found that students with attention challenges, such as attention deficit hyperactive disorder, tended to focus better when using stability balls instead of chairs. The study revealed that students behaved better and that language skills improved, and that students and teachers preferred the use of stability balls in the classroom instead of chairs (2003). Let's make each child's learning environment engaging!
