I currently have a diverse classroom. My students have both academic and physical challenges. After much research, I have learned that students who sit on balls can be more successful academically. These students can build their core muscles. The balls will also increase the ability for them to sit for longer periods of time and attention because their focus is on balance. This will ultimately increase academic success. I also learned that these students will burn off energy and it can also help them write words clearer. I want my classroom to be open to change, accept change and benefit all students.
