Eventually that led to the treasure chest that was filled with detective tools, like decoder pens, paper and magnifying glasses. \r\n We then used the magnifying glasses to read words, and solve math problems. Then we ended the day with another \"who dunit\" challenge. The kids had to solve several different math challenges, we even played a game of guess who, to eliminate suspects.

These desks are especially valuable during STEM projects, when students need space to build models, use tablets or laptops, and record data from experiments. The flexibility of these desks allows learning to feel natural and accessible for every child.\r\nWith these rolling desks, students who struggle to sit still can remain part of group activities, move closer to the teacher when they need extra support, and collaborate more easily with their peers. Having four mobile desks means multiple students can work at the same time in flexible spaces around the room, supporting focus, creativity, and teamwork.\r\nBecause of you, our classroom is becoming a place that adapts to students' needs rather than expecting students to adapt to the furniture. These desks are empowering students to take ownership of their learning and strengthen skills like focus, engagement, and persistence—skills that are essential for success in STEM and beyond.
