Most of our elementary classrooms have seating/standing options. Our kids seem to love the standing desks with the leg pump bar. Good for you !

Another late check in! I'm busy, busy during the day and haven't had much time to post during the day. I read what I could today during recess, but had to run back to busy, busy...
Weight same again. This is good. Maintaining a 7-8 pound loss. Tracking is happening, though I forgot to log dinner last night, but did it this morning. My carbs are too high for efficient weight loss. Still, lower carb than most people eat, but 130 carbs is too many for me for weight loss at a clip.
I introduced 10 exercise balls in the classroom yesterday to substitute for chairs and the kiddos are adjusting as best they can considering they are 8 and 9 years old. The temptation to use them as bouncy ball chairs and Hippity Hops (remember those???) is STRONG. Bar stools and raised tables will be introduced tomorrow. I believe I am nuts to be doing this in May, but, once it takes hold, it will be a great learning room! I also have purged my desk and it is now empty and ready to be moved to the district warehouse. Going deskless. I don't need it. Right????
Have to trim Ace, so off I go....
This is great that you are making these changes to promote a better learning environment. I wish I had you for a teacher when I was a kid!
