My Project

Because our class periods are an hour and 40 minutes long, there are times throughout the school year when the students work independently to get their classwork done. While traditional desks are necessary and serve a purpose, I like to provide my students many seating options.

Please help me get new seating spaces and lap desks for my students.

Having chairs, rugs, and lap desks available to my students gives them the flexibility to get work done in a space that provides optimal focus. With these items, I will be able to expand my seating options to my students.

Mrs. Pendry
Grades 9-12
