Stability Balls in the Classroom

Stability Balls - Have any of you used them in the classroom?  They are supposed to be great for ADHD students and kinesthetic learners, but from what I've read, they improve overall attention and behavior for almost every student.  I'm just curious to hear first-hand reviews.  One teacher at my school has enough stability balls for half of her class.  (A relative is doing research and funded the balls for her.)  I know they're expensive.  If I decide to go this route, I will have to write a Donors Choose to try to get it funded.  Does anyone have suggestions for grants other than Donors Choose?

Oh!  I haven't mentioned, my Donors Choose project for the Chromebooks was fully funded within one week of being posted!  How exciting!!  I won't receive the Chromebooks until school starts in August, but it's going to be a great asset! 

Donors Choose

The purpose of this post is to purely get the word out about my Donors Choose: Math Skills for the 21st Century Learner.  Besides my laptop, the one I use to teach, I don't have a working computer in my classroom for students to use.  I have requested two Chromebook laptops so that my students can use educational websites that target their specific needs in math and reading.  I'm really excited about these and hope they're funded!  Last night, I had a wonderful surprise...  Since my request will be used to further math skills, Duke Energy is going to fund half the cost!!  How exciting!!

Just a note: by no means do I expect you teachers to donate to my classroom.  I realize you all have your own classrooms to fund; however, if you happen to know someone who has a little extra money they want to throw around, please feel free to direct them to my Donors Choose.  PS - if they use the checkout code INSPIRE by May 20th, DC will double the donation. :)
