My Project

Our reading area carpet is more than a place to sit—it is where we gather to work, discuss, think, and learn together. When it is time to do math small groups, it becomes a place to collaborate, solve problems, jump hurdles in learning, and grow together.

This low floor table will transform our carpet into a comfortable, functional learning space where students can stay engaged in small group instruction while having the space they need to learn.

Best of all, the table folds away when we need our open carpet space back!

The cart will be used for storing materials for the teacher-led groups I will meet with in the space.

By giving students options for where and how they learn, I can create a classroom that is flexible, inviting, and ready for whatever our lesson brings.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
