My Project

We all know how important movement is for all kids. Stability balls have begun to take over classrooms as an option for students to sit on. Over the years these balls begin to wear or get popped along the way. I no longer have enough for all students to benefit.

These stability balls would act as chairs for my students to allow them to move and work at the same time.

These would allow students who have a harder time focusing the additional core and movement they need to be successful.
