Hello! I am in need of some help. I have just been transferred grades and my classroom is rather small. I will be teaching 3rd grade in a high-need, low-income community. My students are wonderful and eager to learn. I am a believer that kids learn best from one another. Therefore, I do a lot of cooperative learning and incorporate center time throughout the day. In order to make this possible, I need a movable station.

My students love working in groups and at centers. School is their safety net. Many live in government housing and a few are even homeless. They come to school everyday with lots of issues that most people will never face in their entire life. My ultimate goal is to make learning fun so that my students develop a positive attitude towards school.

By having this movable station, my students will be able to have fun while learning. Because my classroom is tiny it is impossible to set up stationary centers. With this movable station, I can work with many groups in different areas of the classroom, I can model lessons with the whole group, and I can create a center area for the students to complete a variety of activities. When the activities are through, I then can move the station out of our way.

Please Help!!! I do not know how I will offer cooperative groups or center time without this station. I do not personally have the money to purchase this item nor anything remotely close to the way this will function in my classroom. You can make such a difference! Please donate today!!!
