Utilizing stability balls as seats has a variety of benefits for students. They allow students to move, providing an outlet for excess energy; activate core muscles, promoting healthier bodies; stimulate both hemispheres of the brain, better engaging the student for learning; and encourage the union of mind and body in a healthier learning environment.
Allowing students the opportunity to move as they learn provides an outlet for excess energy and aids them in focusing on the task at hand.
Stability balls activate the core muscles, aiding posture, improving balance, and aiding overall body health.
When sitting on stability balls, both hemispheres of the brain are active in attempting to keep the individual centered, which puts students in a more mentally engaged state. This is the ideal stimulation to help the brain focus on learning.
The union of mind and body that occurs when students are seated on stability balls is the ideal healthy learning environment. Healthy bodies and engaged minds make for well-rounded and balanced students.
Please help me to provide the benefits of stability balls for my students to sit on in the classroom by donating to my project. Thank you.
