You should hear the laughter and joy while they are helping each other. \r\n\r\nMy moving computer desk allows me to be free to move around the classroom and help every student when needed. This is a tremendous help. \r\n\r\nThe students are loving to build characters with the play dough and make scenes from their stories they are reading.
