Mrs. Franklin from Canfield OH is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Help! We Need Desks!

Help me give my students space to work! One of the most underrated and often overlooked component of a classroom is the space used by the people who matter most, the kids!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

By implementing tables instead of desks, students can be seated in clusters of 4-5 at each table, allowing for multiple opportunities to collaborate with each other and hear a variety of ideas around the same topic. This helps students make deeper connections with the material to better understand it. Students need space to work, to collaborate, and or stay organized. With desks, students are unable to work comfortably with limited space and they are often moving and inevitably, supplies fall through the cracks causing chaos and a mess. Student desks will give a neat an organized aesthetic which is extremely important for all kids especially those with executive functioning difficulties. Tables also make it very easy to change the grouping of students for a variety of reasons.
