My Project

My classroom is a flower garden with many students from diverse backgrounds. Students come to school daily motivated and ready to learn. They enjoy setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Having a comfortable space free of distractions to work will help my students reach their full potential.

Students will be able to focus on their assigned tasks without feeling cramped and uncomfortable with the requested student lap desks.

In addition, students will be able to concentrate more in class and be more productive. Not to mention, students will participate in discussions, explaining their thinking and supporting their points by citing evidence from the text. Comfortable seating not only creates academic health but also improves their physical health, and having the table requested in this project will help students achieve these goals.
