My Project

Stability balls will make a difference in our learning by engaging student core muscles while at STEM learning stations. These chairs have four short "legs" that offer increased stability and keep the ball from rolling away. Students will be able to engage the core, help with focus and attention and promote active learning.

My goals for this project are to offer more movement than our current stools allow.

They tip on the current stools and the screws come out.

My students are special because they work together as a classroom family in our home-sweet-classroom.
