Standing Desk

Last year, parents, teachers, and other donors helped me bring standing desks into the classroom (featured on the right). Over the course of my teaching I have found that students sit for about an hour each class, and only move really when passing time happens. Because of this I wanted to give students a chance to increase their movement within the classroom. Studies are showing that sitting for extended periods of time isn't as healthy. But neither is standing, which is why I also have a stool for each student to sit on as well. This gives the student a chance to really keep their blood flowing which will increase their oxygen in their system which will make it to where they are more awake and alert in the classroom.
