Help Us Release Energy To Learn

My students need 3 sitballs to give them an opportunity to release energy and focus on learning without distracting others.

My Students

My kindergarten students attend a rural school with 63% of students on free or reduced lunch. Like others our budgets are being cut and with teachers only receiving $200.00 to purchase supplies, I can not get the sitballs my students need.

Have you ever seen a 5 year old sit still for any period of time?

Kindergartners learn at a very quick pace. Many students can not sit still while they learn. With the help of these sitballs, students will be able to release energy and still be able to pay attention to lessons being taught in the classroom.

My Project

All students will have the opportunity to use it when they need it and it is not being used by someone else. Students will be excited to be able to sit on a ball and still be able to learn. Students will be moving and not be a distraction in the classroom.

This is my first project and will benefit my students this year and years to come.

Kindergartners are constantly on the go and this will help them and myself by allowing them to sit on the ball and still learn.
