My Project

On a day to day basis, my students collaborate with classmates. Unfortunately, our old desks weren't collaboration-friendly and hindered our success in this area.

Student tables are a necessity for my students, giving them lifelong skills for collaborating with others.

My students deserve new tables/desks to work on their collaboration skills.

The tables we are using now are old and wobble, causing frustration among my students. These tables will allow students to work on daily work together, along with classroom projects, such as STEM activities. The beauty of the tables is students can work in groups of 2-6 students.

In order to truly be successful throughout the day, they need a place to store their materials. The 3 drawer storage units will be at the end of each table, keeping them organized but giving them plenty of space on their table top.
