My Project

My 6th graders are amazing. They love to move and they love playing games!

Balance boards are great for students to use at standing desks because they help your core, lower back and leg muscles remain engaged throughout the day.

Middle schoolers are not meant to sit all day, they need to move their bodies in order to pay attention. They also help them stay in their spaces and not move around the room.

My students also love playing strategy games! These games help them practice skills that they learn in school and don't always get to use.
