My Project

COVID-19 has impacted our students in countless ways. Our school previously had classroom tables where students were paired in groups of two. When COVID-19 forced six feet of social distancing, our paired tables were replaced with individual desks. These desks were in storage and were originally from when our school opened over 50 years ago. The desks are damaged, stained, and wobbly, which causes frequent disruptions in the classroom.

Through this project, students will be given new classroom desks, which will improve their ownership of their materials, it will decrease classroom distractions and will enhance the classroom learning environment.

New student whiteboards and erasers will also support small-group writing. These items will impact academic achievement through the daily use in both individual, small, and whole-group instruction. It will impact their social-emotional learning through the increased sense of belonging in our classroom and access to updated resources.
