With these funds I will purchase 2 Safco Runtz Ball Chairs for students who struggle to sit still for learning.  These students have a need for balance and these chairs will help the students feel more stable in their own skin.  

Here is a link to the cost, they are currently on sale: http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=+Safco+Runtz+Ball+Chairs&SearchType=Header

Each chair is $121 plus shipping.

Here is another link telling why the chairs help students who struggle with attention and focus issues: http://fox13now.com/2014/01/13/new-chairs-help-calm-wiggles-of-students-at-slc-autistim-school-officials-say/

And another link which describes why it is important for students to have the proper seating: http://www.minds-in-bloom.com/2012/04/advice-from-ot-why-good-sitting-good.html

In my classroom, one of these chairs will be used for a particular student.  The other will be used for the general education students as an incentive for great behavior and hard work.  It will also be beneficial to have 2 chairs, in case next year's class has more needs.  The Runtz Ball Chairs have a 5 year warranty, which is important because other stability balls are easier to pop.  These chairs will help keep students more focused on their learning, and not wandering around the room, laying on the desks, sitting on the floor, kicking neighbors while at their desks.
