My Project

We are in need of a new place for our book groups to meet and more selections to choose from. Our current table is kidney shaped and takes up too much space in our classroom. I currently have thirty-five fifth graders in my room. That's a lot of bodies! With the additional number of students, comes a scarcity of resources. By the time my last groups are choosing their books, there aren't many choices left.

With the addition of a horseshoes table and more book choices we can sit comfortably and enjoy our book discussions.

Students not in groups will have more space to spread out and read.
