My Project

I want to create a small group meeting area in my classroom to work with up to five students at a time. This allows me to better meet my students' academic goals.

To do this, the students and I need a table and chairs that allow for collaboration during the small group sessions.

A storage system is necessary to keep the small group materials organized. A mobile computer stand for our tech completes the small group meeting area.

Please help bring this project into our classroom. The small group meeting area will benefit every student in my classroom!
