Edit
My classroom is equipped with both student desks and lab stations but I do not have enough stools for my students to sit down at the lab stations. The Science department has been without this essential supply for over 10 years in many of the rooms. After purchasing supplies to conduct labs there just is not enough money left to buy stools. My students are telling me they just want to sit down! My classroom is an active place and lab stations are used every day of the week by some or all students. Students work collaboratively in groups, perform experiments, and build models. They love working at the lab stations but find them uncomfortable at times. If the students can be comfortable they can focus better and learn more. Lack of lab stools is also a safety issue. Students who are uncomfortable will try to get comfortable in interesting ways. I have seen students try to lay across the tables, sit on top of student desks, or lean on the counters that could have dangerous chemicals on the surface. Lab stools would prevent this issue. I am asking for durable, affordable, and practical stools. I chose red and green (our school's colors) so my students can feel school spirit in my room. Please help my students by donating towards this basic supply. Every classroom should have seats for students to work at.
