I saw first hand last year how flexible seating can benefit students. I had a student who struggled to focus during our carpet time all year. When I allowed the student to sit on a yoga/bouncy ball, they were fully engaged. The student raised their hand to answer EVERY question. It was an eye opening experience. I was only able to purchase a few items last year. My students need stools, balance balls, stability discs, and pillows. I would love to be able to give this opportunity to EVERY child!
