My students come from very different and diverse backgrounds. My school is a Mandarin Immersion school, which means most of my students spend half of their day learning the Mandarin language through their school subjects.
These lovable and energetic 6th graders spend about 90 minutes a day in each class period and are excited to learn.
They come in ready to learn and make the most of their day.
My Project
The use of standing desks in my classroom will allow the students the freedom to choose a different place to work if they are feeling tired or "wiggly". Research suggests we can learn better when we are standing. Standing allows them to burn off any extra energy and improves classroom behavior. It also allows students to maintain their concentration that tends to be lost when sitting and "resting" in chairs. These desks will be an opportunity for students to choose when they feel like they need an opportunity to better focus and release energy.
By donating to our project, you will help 6th graders improve their attention and focus; which will ultimately improve their academic success.
Sitting in a classroom for 90 minutes straight is hard for young learners and being able to stand and stretch will hep them become more successful.
