Bring your own ball to the kindergarten room! After doing her research, our fabulous K teacher, Donna Elliott, ditched the chairs and blew up the balls.
Mayo Clinic says the exercise bouncers are better for posture and help release pent-up energy throughout the day which leads to better concentration. Can we really expect 5-year-olds to park it for 4 hours in a hard chair? Give me a break!!!
My college roomie, Cyn, says after guest-teaching for kindergartners, "Those dat-gum k'ers will kill ya!" Obviously they don't have bouncing energy-expending balls in Cali!

Wish I was still there...I could've plopped myself down on a ball (maybe size large) and taught about a book or two...Could you just picture Russ back in Kndgt sitting on a red (his fave color) ball??? "WELL, LIKE, HEEELLLLLLLLPPP!!!" as he rolled right off.
That is a good idea, mom. You should let the Wtn. Public Opinion know. They might think it's worth a short article. If it were a slow news day in Tracy, I might run a little blurb on it.
love ya!!!
