Help me give my students small group seating options with round activity tables. We do not have traditional desks in rows in our school. We promote flexible seating options to optimize student learning.

My Project
School isn't easy. Middle school math is definitely not easy. As a middle school math teacher, it is my job to make math accessible, engaging and possible for my students.
Creating a comfortable learning environment is the first step in engaging young minds.
Entering a classroom where you feel welcomed and safe is the beginning of the learning process. I take pride in providing my students with a classroom in which they feel a sense of comfort and ownership - a place that for a little while they call home.
The round tables will offer spaces that will foster community, collaboration, and peer interaction. These tables will offer a unique seating arrangement in our classroom (which we currently do not have) for students who wish to work with their classmates in a team environment. The tables also provide opportunities for intervention spaces within our classroom.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
