This project is going to give my students the tools and resources to help them grow. This project will fund an environment that my students can thrive in! The standing desk will allow my wiggly students to move and groove as they are learning and working towards their goals. Many of my students struggle with focus and have a hard time sitting at the traditional school desk. This will allow them the best opportunity possible to succeed in an environment that embraces their challenges and finds resources to keep them growing! I believe this desk can make all the difference for many of my students who struggle in a traditional setting. I want to embrace their differences and give them the environment and resources they need to be successful!
