It is being used daily. My favorite part is the flexibility it has given me as a teacher. It's functionality has allowed me to sit or stand during instruction. Being that it's on casters, I can maneuver the desk to face my students and create a more personable experience. It can also be adjusted to my students' height giving them the opportunity to share their work on the big screen. \r\n\r\nJust last week I used this adjustable desk to introduce a math and writing project. I was able to turn the desk to face my students and deliver instructions while using the document camera to share the assignment. Without this desk, my back would have been to my students making my directions and instruction less effective. Being able to see my students while delivering these instructions kept them engaged and focused, which helped them all to complete this project successfully.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping me create the most optimal learning environment for my students!","fullyFundedDate":1762265345597,"projectUrl":"project/would-you-rather-stand-or-sit/9640002/","projectTitle":"Would You Rather Stand or Sit?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Naret","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5190560_orig.jpg?crop=300,300,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647542894850","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-naret"},{"teacherId":3576439,"projectId":9590937,"letterContent":"Thanks to your incredible generosity, our classroom has been buzzing with creativity, curiosity, and discovery!

Watching their excitement as they adjusted weights and pivot points to make their creations balance or move just right was truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nYour support gave my students the opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences that made abstract science ideas come alive. They weren't just hearing about forces—they were feeling and seeing them in action.
