I teach a split-level class with 6 first graders and 9 second graders. Having two grade levels means that sometimes I will be working with one grade while the others have to work independently. I have several students who are unable to sit when they are working. Right now they only have standard desks/chairs to work with in our classroom. They stand while working but the height of the desk is not conducive to them and they struggle to find a way to comfortably work. By enabling them to utilize standing desks, they can access learning in their unique way. My goal is to have all of my students feel comfortable in the classroom so they can focus on their learning.
