My Project

We have single desks that are very old and their tops are not stable or even flat. First this creates a safety issues for many science projects and makes it difficult to set up groups.

My goal is to replace the old desks in my room with tables suitable for to do collaborative science in a safe environment.

My students come from such a diverse backgrounds, but have such a great support and kindness for one another despite economic backgrounds. We merged from 3 different middle schools just a few years ago into the old high-school building. The district just does not have the funding for furniture for the middle school and we are making do with what we can scrounge up. I know I can do better for them if I could set the room up in a more productive way.
