My Students Can’t Sit for So Long

Help me give my students another option to do their work. Some students need to stand while they work, and these standing desks allow for this.

My Students

There are many people who don't enjoy their job very much. One reason could be that they don't work with 10-year-olds. Ten-year-olds, (my 30 ten-year-olds) are enthusiastic, loving, curious, chatty, fun, and kind. These children are a joy to work with, and I want to do all I can to best serve them. They deserve my best, and they deserve the best from the community as well.

These ten-year-olds are hard workers, and it's not like they have things easy.

They don't come from affluent areas. They come from broken homes and even have language and learning barriers. But they persevere, and that is why I admire them and love working with them so much.

My Project

In elementary school different seating and movement options are a must. Our class has no alternative desk options so I feel a few standing desks are critical to keep these students focused and learning. They work harder and longer if the working station/situation is more personally suited to their needs. Our traditional chairs and desks can be torturous to some kids, so please help us get these standing desks to get kids working instead of suffering. I feel they will definitely accomplish more and work on the tasks at hand if their need to wiggle or move is finally met.
