New Desks We Beg!

Help me give my students new desks! They do not have enough space to move around and they cannot keep their supplies organized. Help us have a safer and more organized classroom.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help us improve our learning environment! With new desks, my students could move around more safely and have more space to organize their materials. We could also rearrange our desks so they could sit in different groups and formations. Our current desks are very limiting because the chairs are attached to the desks. It makes it difficult for my students and I to be as productive as we'd like. New desks would give us more opportunities for collaborative learning and more robust routines and procedures. An organized space supports an organized mind! This is my student's second year in this classroom, and we would be so grateful to have new desks before they move on to junior high!
