Replacing chairs with stability balls to use for flexible seating in my classroom will benefit each child by allowing them to have a comfortable working space. This in turn, will help students be more successful in their education.
Studies show that children who use stability balls are able to focus more, write words more clearly, and stay active. Keeping a child's full attention for a period of time can be a difficult task. Children, at this young age have trouble sitting still, so replacing our chairs with stability balls will assist them to get their "wiggles" out in a positive way, while still being able to focus and reach their full potential.
Not only will these ball chairs assist with their success in education, but they also improve posture! :)
