Help me give my students flexible seating by providing them with balance balls!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are a group of fun, energetic, and eager to learn kids. Due to their young age, a lot of the learning happens through hands-on activities. For example, they will practice spelling sight words using shaving cream and their fingers on the desk.

My students are also very kind-hearted and giving.

They always attempt to help each other feel better when one of their peers is having a bad day by giving each other hugs or by attempting to make each other laugh.

My Project

Due to my students' diagnosis of autism and ADHD, sitting still on a typical school chair is a difficult task for the majority of them. My students tend to rock on the chairs, which is dangerous because they can fall and hit their heads. I have attempted to put bands around the legs of the chair in order for my students to have an option of moving their feet while they sit, but there are still students rocking their chairs throughout the day.

The Balance Ball Seat will help my students release their need for moving while they are sitting down.

They will benefit from these seats because they will be able to sit for longer periods of time, in order for them to complete their work without having to stand up every 5 minutes. It will also motivate them to complete classwork or participate during whole group lessons because they will take turns sitting on the balance balls.
