Clean & Pristine!

Help me give my students the ability to rearrange their desks easily without damaging the floors, allowing for flexibility with group, partner, and independent work. Also happy custodians who work so hard to keep our floors looking nice!

My Project

I am starting a new year in a new school in a new county & I am so excited to set up my classroom and prepare a cozy space where students feel comfortable & excited to collaborate and learn. These pre-cut tennis balls will allow for flexibility in the arrangement of my room without damaging our beautiful floors, keeping them clean and pristine. At this developmental level, it is so important for students to learn how to engage with one another academically and collaborate effectively to accomplish a common goal. This is going to be made much easier if students’ seating arrangements align with their intended purpose, which will be easier to arrange and accommodate with pre-cut tennis balls acting as a buffer between the desk legs and the classroom floors.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
