My Project
In our classroom, collaborative learning is at the heart of everything we do.
A clover-shaped table will give my students a dedicated space to work together in small groups, promoting communication, cooperation, and peer support.
Its unique shape allows for flexible seating and easy access to both students and teachers during guided instruction. This table will support a variety of academic activities, from literacy centers to hands-on math tasks, making it a vital addition to our learning environment.
In our classroom currently, we have trapezoid tables, which do not allow for collaboration between peers and take up a lot of space in our small classroom. This clover-shaped table will not only promote that collaboration aspect I am aiming for, but will also help maximize the space in my small classroom.
