Rise Up for Standing Desks

Help me give my students flexible seating options for in-person learning during hybrid instruction. Students will have the chance to choose to sit or stand at their desk while in class.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our students are local to Wilmington, Delaware. Many come from English as a second language households. They are kind, helpful, hard working, and full of energy. They try their best to keep up with their responsibilities at school and their responsibilities at home- chores around the house, helping parents with jobs or siblings, and sometimes they are the translators between school and families.

My Project

COVID-19 has impacted so many parts of our daily lives from limiting how many people can do something, to curbing our social interactions/comfortability with one another, and even forcing us into stationary and sedentary routines. Hands on learning and stations to provide engagement activities throughout the class period have been put on hold. Students come into school and face one direction, spaced 6 feet apart, work through online material while they are in school.

I would love to provide them with the opportunity to stand, move, and stretch safely in the classroom.

These standing desks would be a perfect tool to implement in our classroom not just this year but in years to come. Adjustable desks like these also allow for a range of positions for students with special needs- which is perfect for an inclusion classroom like my own.
