Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Worldwide, children sit for an average of 8.5 hours a day. However, a large body of research suggests sitting for prolonged periods is detrimental to health and contributes to heart disease, cancers, Type 2 diabetes, and other conditions.

It's time to stop asking children to sit still.

However, it can be challenging to encourage healthy movement in a classroom designed for sitting. For that reason and others, some teachers are ditching desks and redesigning their classrooms with flexible seating.

The goal of removing desks from classrooms is to create more flexible, student-centered, active environments where kids have the option to move and change positions as needed to optimize learning.
