These standing desks would allow my students to read, write, and move - all at the same time! One of the biggest struggles that my students encounter during the school day is having to sit quietly throughout the day. I truly believe that my students want to believe and giving the option of movement while they work would increase their learning time dramatically! I know that my students will immediately feel the motivation to learn when they are given options to help them succeed! Please consider donating to my classroom and being apart of our success! Thank you for your consideration!
