Hocus Pocus Help Us Focus!

Help me give my students study carrels so they can focus on working to their full potential.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Butterfield's classroom raised $211

My Project

My fifth graders are very social and work well together. Because they enjoy working together, they sometimes have trouble focusing when they need to work independently or when testing. Many of my students also struggle academically and like to have privacy when working. Unfortunately, the classroom isn't big enough for me to spread them out too much.

A class set of study carrels would really help my students to focus on independent assignments and allow each student to work to their full potential.

Struggling students would be able to use a study carrel to have the privacy that they desire when working, and this would allow them to feel more confident.
