Our stability balls are here! The students are so excited for this new tool in our classroom. We have spent this week learning about them. We have talked about rules and how to take care of them, what they are here for, how to get work done on them and that they are a privilege. This week we took turns practicing a few minutes at a time using them around the room for reading and writing workshop. It is a slow process to get them all inflated and the students needed time to adjust to them in the room before they all had one. Students will be signing promises/ contracts next week that they will continue to use them properly and take care of them. By the end of next week, all students should have one. Look for notes coming home about them, as well as permission slips to be signed.
