Mrs. Marks from Ludlow VT is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Collaboration in Comfort

Help me give my students a comfortable space to work collaboratively. Students in third and fourth grade work best when they are sharing their thoughts and ideas with others.

My Project

Our third and fourth grade classroom needs another work space for students to work in small groups on projects. Collaboration is used in our classroom on a daily basis as students read together in interest groups, work on STEM projects in lab teams, and discuss math problems together. A comfortable space for this to happen is important. The seat cushions will be used at our floor table for comfort during science labs along with a spot for reading.

Another work space for students to collaborate and share ideas is key to an organized and cohesive learning environment.

This new space will allow for meaningful discussions and will make classroom management and routines easy to follow for students.
