We hold high expectations for students at our school. We know that every student is capable of reading on grade level and conducting themselves with integrity. Though, with this expectation, we also work to meet students where they are and give them the tools to succeed. Eight-year-olds aren't meant to sit for hours at a time. I'm asking for standing desks and exercise balls for students to use during instruction so that they're able to move without it impacting their learning. All students learn differently; for some, focusing on staying still and not distracting their tablemates becomes all consuming and they miss important information from a lesson. These seating options will allow me to meet my students' different learning needs.
