Building a Classroom Community

My students need tables to work in cooperative groups in order to foster a collaborative classroom environment. This will also enable us to maximize our classroom space.

My Students

Our school is considered a Title I school, serving students in grades Pre-K through fifth. My first grade students are very diverse. Some of them come from various ethnic backgrounds, some come from single family homes, living in poverty-level conditions. Some have learning disabilities, and some are gifted academically. Our school is one of the main sites providing services for English Language Learners in our district.

My goal is to provide my students with the best learning opportunities, so that they can learn in ways that best fit their needs.

I hope that you choose to partner with our class to help make that happen!

My Project

My students currently have desks which are in poor condition and differing heights. This makes it difficult for them to work in cooperative groups during math and literacy centers. Students have a hard time playing math games and participating in science experiments. Tables would make it possible for students to collaborate, play educational games which reinforce skills, and participate in meaningful conversations about what we are learning. Having tables in my first grade class would enable me to better implement differentiation and flexible grouping. I will be able to meet my students' learning needs and build a true classroom community.
