Writing should be as comfortable and as fun as possible. The pens, pencils, and pencil grips will help my students feel secure that they have what they need in order to express themselves. Most students brought pencils as part of the recommended school supplies at the beginning of the year, but they break and wear out, and families on a budget aren't always able to replace school supplies. The Desk-Er-Cisers will give students a chance to use their bodies while they use their minds. Many of my students are able to stay more engaged and focused when they have a fidget or are able to move. With desks closely spaced and chairs that sometimes creak, the Desk-Er-Cisers will allow my students to move and kick while keeping everyone safe and thoughtful.
