My school is located in a low income county that had a tornado hit in April of 2011 and destroyed much of the school. The desks currently being used in my classroom were used before the tornado. The screws in the desk legs fall out on a daily basis which cause the desks to fall over while the students are working. Not only do they cause a distraction when they fall, but it also takes time to put the desks back together. The desk take up a lot of space, when you have 30 or more students in your classroom, with each student having their own individual desk, the classroom is overcrowded and making it hard for me to maneuver throughout the classroom to help students. These tables will help reach the needs of all my students by allowing them to be more collaborative, as well as helping with creative learning. With your help funding this project, my students can grow as collaborators and develop strong teamwork skills, while mastering their math standards for 6th grade as a group.
