Help me give my students vertical whiteboards and stacking stools so they can engage in meaningful collaborative conversations throughout the classroom.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
The students in my classroom are energetic, love to do art, music is a necessity for any of our "quiet time" moments, and they love to laugh and tell jokes. These kids are all so culturally diverse, yet so friendly with one another. Their eagerness to learn, explore, and inquire about everything helps push our lessons forward in all subject matters - especially science. Their blunt personalities will definitely flourish with the amount of leadership skills these young students are all beginning to display.
My Project
Collaborative work provides students with multiple pathways that help students express their thinking in critical ways. Within each subject area, students will engage in collaborative conversations, partake in team roles, and share their ideas with the class.
When a classroom provides students with flexible options to interact with their peers in various places, students can engage in high quality conversations about their learning.
Each vertical easel whiteboard will bring new meaning and life to how students learn within the classroom. They will encourage students in openly discussing their ideas and allowing them to learn that their mistakes are never set in stone. Each whiteboard will act as a non-permanent surface that will enrich student voice and build student engagement. The stools will act as an alternate seating option to provide students with the flexibility of moving around the classroom freely and allowing those rich conversations to continue forming.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
