This project was created by a student in my homeroom. All of the writing below was developed by one of my 5th grade students. "Our class is made up of students from many different cultures, but when we are together, we are one. We have a lot of great traits! Our class is very hard working. When we make a goal for ourselves, we WILL reach it! We love to learn! When we are learning, we like to sit comfortably, otherwise it is hard to focus. Along with learning, we love to be active. We are full of energy! We would rather move around than sit still all day. We are very smart too! Who wouldn’t be with a teacher like Mrs. K?
I think of our class as a fun-loving big family!
We like to share ideas and put our brains together to come up with a plan. As they say, more brains are better than one. Our whole class is artistic, too. We love to be colorful and like to experiment with different things. Overall, our class is the best class compared to all the other classes in the world!"
My Project
Flex Space Balance Ball Seats allow students to collaborate with one another. According to a flexible seating article, “With students collaborating more, they have a lot of great minds at work together.” When students collaborate, the get to share ideas and work together more. The Balance Ball Seats are small and will be easy to group together. They come in many different sizes.
Flex Space Balance Ball Seats allow students to move while they are learning.
According to the workers at Lakeshore, “This item is meant to reduce restlessness and improve the focus of your students.” This will help students behave more mannerly in class. The balance balls allow students to bounce while they are learning. That gives students an opportunity to let go of some energy that is building up in them when they are sitting still. When students move, blood flows to their brain. When the blood flows to their brain, their brain is consuming lots of nutrients that it needs. The blood is basically giving energy to their brain.
The last reason that we should buy Flex Space Balance Ball Seats is that, they give students choice. As a Flex Space article said, "When a student chooses where to sit, they will be more comfortable and will feel more engaged in their work.” It is known that student choice is very important. These Balance Ball Seats come in 3 different colors and 2 different sizes. This gives students a variety of choices to choose from!
Flex Space Balance Ball Seats are exactly what we need.
