Standing Desks!

     Since I have "liked" the We Are Teachers page on Facebook I have been exposed to many inspiring ideas. This one I think is brilliant! A standing desk! With a fidget bar! The article that I read contains a link to the story that was done on NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt about the AlphaBetter Desk from Safco. Watch it!

     There have been classrooms that I have been in recently that this option would have been perfect for some of the students. Students can quietly move the fidget bar and the teacher would not have to constantly say "sit down". Also, there is the option to have a stool for those student who choose not to stand at any point in the day. These desks are a couple hundred dollars a piece...but, may just be a valuable investment.
