Tables for the Class

Help me give my students a way to work as a community. I teach second grade and like having my students sitting at tables. It helps them form more or a team working atmosphere.

My Project

I teach at a Title 1 school. My students are use to working on their own. I want to give my students a different experience I want them to see that they can work as a team when they are sitting at a table with other students who they can count on. I also want to give the students a choice of where think they can do their best thinking and work. I have tables now but they are all different heights, sizes, and they are falling apart. The screws fall out and the tables fall disrupting the learning. Tables have helped me build that sense of community that I strive to have in the classroom. By replacing the broken tables I feel that it will go a long way in me showing my students how much I care about their success.
