My Project

I have such an amazing school. I want to create the best most impactful learning environment in my small classroom. By adding a skinny tall desk students will be able to work while sitting on a stool or by standing, which is how some students prefer to learn. These skinny tables will give another row of students who can be close to the whiteboard to make them more involved learners. This desk will provide students with options on the type of desk they work and learn best at, while still giving them opportunities to work in groups.
