My Project

My project will help support students who struggle with maintaining focus and stillness in the classroom.

The requested items "balance ball chairs," will allow students to move and balance—reducing restlessness and improving focus while they learn!

This can have a positive impact on their physical well-being and attention span. Encourages movement, allowing students to change positions throughout the day.

Providing students with flexible seating encourages active learning and allows students to choose a seating that suits their preferences and learning styles. Students are more likely to be engaged in the lesson when they are comfortable.
