Seating for One and All

My Students

Our classroom is a busy and exciting learning environment. We work together on learning mathematics skills embedded into workstations with meaningful and engaging activities.

Third grade is a crucial period in students' learning as they become more independent and mature learners.

We also work on science domains to learn facts and vocabulary, to develop the ability to ask scientific questions, plan experiments to answer these questions, and develop reasonable explanations based on their observations.

My Project

For some students sitting low to the ground is the most comfortable and effective learning environment. For many active children that have a difficult time sitting still, the movement the ball top provides, can give them the input they crave, thereby Increasing concentration.

Flexible seating allows students to choose where they work and with whom.

Students feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment. It also allows them to change their location and positions as needed. The Stay N Play Balance Ball provides a flexible seat for high energy and active kids. These encourage kids to learn, adopt and practice a healthy posture while building core strength from active sitting and play in the classroom
