My Project

Students need an area to allow them to collaborate and build upon their communication skills. These desks would allow me to group students throughout the week and have them work on group projects and assessments. I would also allow me to sit with them and discuss their thoughts and see their work. It can be used as a conference area to talk with my students who are struggling and work with them in a small group on specific needs. With the chairs ( with attached desk) set up I currently have; it is a constant rearranging task and not the best set up. The desks I have, you can only enter on one side, which makes it difficult to put them together and have a level working space. The desks would allow me to have stations and alternative seating opportunists for those students with disabilities, also.
