My Project
Imagine a science classroom where students can move freely, collaborate with ease, and engage in hands-on learning in a comfortable environment. This dream can become a reality with your support. Our classroom thrives on exploration, collaboration, and creativity, but our current seating arrangements limit these possibilities. By providing our students with foldable chairs, you will empower them to learn in a way that meets their needs.
Our students are inquisitive, energetic, and always ready to tackle new challenges.
They come from a variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, bringing a wealth of perspectives and experiences to our classroom. Despite the challenges they face outside of school, they approach each day with curiosity and determination to grow.
Our science lessons often involve small group discussions, hands-on experiments, and project-based learning. My students thrive when they can move around, join new groups, and interact with their peers. However, traditional desk-and-chair setups hinder this movement andcollaboration.
For my project, I am requesting foldable chairs to create a more flexible and student-centered learning environment. Foldable chairs will allow us to reconfigure our classroom layout quickly and easily for different activities.
More than 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
