My Project

For this project I am asking for dividers to help create a private area to learn. My current classroom space is in a open hallway. At time this can cause a lot of distractions for my students. The hallway that our classroom is in is a highly populated area with a lot of foot traffic from other students and adults in the building. This creates not only a distracting learning environment but a loud one as well. With this room divider I will be able to limit distractions to my students during this crucial learning time.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
