Have a Ball - Healthier and More Focused Students

My students need stability ball chairs to provide them with proper sitting positioning and to help keep them focused.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Crosson's classroom raised $512

This project is fully funded

My Students

A healthy body equals a healthy mind. I have noticed that most of my students are using incorrectly sized chairs in our class. As a result they do not sit properly. Their posture is affected and this has a negative impact on their physical development and on their mental focus.

My class consists of 20 fifth grade students.

They are good kids who enjoy learning. However, I have noticed that most of my students are using incorrectly sized chairs in our class. As a result they do not sit properly. Their posture is affected and this has a negative impact on their physical development and on their mental focus.

My Project

These stability chairs will help my students sit correctly during class time. In addition to keeping the students' posture in the right alignment, the chairs encourage small movements which help the child stay focused and work on strengthening their core muscles.

In this day of concern over the physical health of our children, this project will not only aid in the core strength development of my students, but it will also help in their mental focus and intellectual development.
