I am asking for some balance balls for flexible classroom seating to improve attention and motivation for my third grade students. It is proven that movement is key for student attention. Since returning to school in person, I have noticed some lethargy from lack of movement.
In a typical year, students are able to move around the room, work in groups and more, but due to Covid-19 they are stuck in one place and need some balance balls to increase stationary movement. Due to current social distancing guidelines, my students cannot leave their personal desk space throughout the school day. They fight for the one balance ball that I do have, and it is not enough. Students need to be able to move to increase attention, retention, and enhance their motivation and moral.
Can you help me to provide a space for optimal learning? Thank you!
