Mrs. Landino’s Classroom Edit display name

This year I am requesting donations to help combat this growing problem of too much sitting by trying to incorporate standing desks within my fourth grade classroom. While standing instead of sitting at their desks, students are engaged in a movement rich environment. It has been said that sitting is as detrimental to our body as smoking. There are many health benefits to standing instead of sitting. Standing burns more calories and gives students an outlet if they need to fidget for example, students with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Additionally students are more engaged when standing as opposed to sitting. Classroom discipline may improve because students are not forced to be still when it is physically challenging for them. By incorporating two more additional standing desks into my classroom students will be given opportunity to be healthier and move when needed.
