Equitable Workspace for All

Help me give my students the best-possible learning environment. We need adequate seating and workspace in my classroom. To date, I have personally purchased the tables that we do have, but it’s not enough to be sufficient.

My Students

I have the best students a teacher could possibly hope to have. All 41 of my students have been in our Chinese dual-immersion program since Kindergarten, and boast Chinese-speaking abilities tantamount to fluency. This intensive foreign language instruction has rendered my students with a true passion for learning about all things, subsequently providing them with the right attitude and fostering a growth mindset when it comes to their education. Now, as they near the end of their academic journey through elementary school, it is more important than ever for me to guide my students through to the finish line.

My Project

I want to create the best possible learning space for my students to thrive.

Since the beginning of this school year, I have tried to personally finance the furniture needed for my classroom.

Unfortunately, I could only afford to purchase 5 tables, which is not sufficient to provide a seated workspace for the 41 kids in my class. My students are forced to cram around these tables, with 5 kids seated at tables that are visibly meant for two students.

If I could provide one more large table to the students in my class, it would make all the difference in the world to the ease with which my students can learn.

Please help me accomplish this goal, 41 students and myself would be forever grateful for your help. Thank you.
