My Project

My students are absolutely the reason why I love my job! They currently sit in desks in a U shape in our classroom. This allows for students to all see each other and work cooperatively frequently! The problem with desks is that fingers can get pinched, and they can become crowded with papers and other things that need to be going home or in the trash!

Round tables would allow for students to continue to see each other around the room, to engage in meaningful conversations frequently, and to sit in a predetermined group, according to where they are seated.

The goal for this project is to allow for a cleaner, more organized classroom full of students who are working cooperatively for most activities!

My students are a special group, because they enjoy conversations where they can build off of each other! They say things in discussions that I never had even considered or thought about! They are constantly thinking critically, and work SO well together!

Tables would only encourage these meaningful conversations even more!
