These sturdy stools will make a difference in my students' learning because the current stools that we have did not last the entire school year. This will enhance my students' small group instruction because it will provide a more structured environment. My students won't be worried whether or not their chair is breaking or if they will need to pull up another classroom chair to the table. In our classroom, small group instruction is the primary focus because it is where I can differentiate instruction to each students' level. Because we spend most of our time in small group, it is crucial that my students have quality furniture for this area.
