Support learning for all! I believe one obstacle in my classroom is still the "one way fits all" idea of a desk. Please help support my project by creating an alternative option to standard seating. The Safco standing desk is for a student who has a hard time sitting. In addition, there are four yoga balls (Gaiam Kids Stay-N-Play Children's Balance Balla & Trideer Exercise Ball ) for students who need movement while sitting. Last, the Folding Lap Desks will allow students to sit on the floor and still work. If students are comfortable they stay vested in the task, and they have a positive mindset. Please support us!
