The standup desk has become a popular spot during small group work, giving students a flexible option to stay focused and engaged. Each student now has their own drawer in the Rollie bins, which has been a game-changer for organization. It's so rewarding to see them taking responsibility for their supplies and working more efficiently. The Romly cart has also made it much easier for me to transport materials between lessons.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the students were so excited—they couldn't wait to explore their new drawers and check out the desk! Many commented on how \"grown-up\" it felt to have their own personal storage space, and they loved the idea of standing while working.\r\n\r\nOur next step is to integrate these tools into our daily routines even more. We're currently working on a group research project, and the Rollie bins are perfect for keeping everyone's notes and materials organized. The standup desk will also be used for presentations, giving students a chance to share their work in a dynamic and interactive way.
