While not electronic technology, these desks function as an important learning tool by giving students more choice in how they work. Many students learn better when they can stand, stretch, or move slightly while staying focused. The standing desks help improve engagement, reduce restlessness, and allow students to better maintain their attention during lessons and independent work time. They support a more flexible, student-centered learning environment and help ensure that every child has a place where they can be successful.\r\n\r\nWhat students find most exciting is simply having the option. The standing desks are used constantly throughout the day, and students eagerly ask for a turn. They enjoy the freedom of being able to stand while working, and many say it helps them concentrate or feel more comfortable. The desks have quickly become one of the most appealing workspaces in the room.\r\n\r\nA few students, in particular, have especially benefited from the new desks. Those who tend to struggle with staying seated for long periods or who have lots of energy have gravitated toward them and shown noticeable improvement in focus and productivity. Students who are typically hesitant to participate or who have difficulty settling into assignments have also embraced the standing desks as a place where they feel more confident and engaged. Their excitement and increased participation show just how valuable these desks have become in supporting diverse learning needs.","fullyFundedDate":1762267493876,"projectUrl":"project/move-learn-grow-adjustable-desks-for/9854913/","projectTitle":"Move, Learn, Grow: Adjustable Desks for My Classroom.","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Brandjord","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10328117"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71397","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":219,"numTeachers":15,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":71397,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mason Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mason Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/mason-consolidated-schools/mason-middle-school/71397"}
