My Project

Having a good place to work allows students to write more easily and gives them a sense of permanence in the classroom. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. The desks in my classroom are broken, with large cracks in them, making writing legibly difficult. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when their work area is sturdy and in good shape.

The tables I have chosen for my classroom are sturdy and will allow students to work independently, in partners, or in small groups. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. They will allow for any student, to have access to a work station. In fact, I chose these tables specifically for students who require wheelchair assistance.

I know that having a sturdy and usable work area will positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the having tables will help us grow even more!
