My Project

The students in my classroom rotate through multiple learning stations. Each station serves a specific academic purpose and leaning skill. While in these spaces, students need to be free of distraction from other students in their learning spaces. I have two grade levels and while one grade is engaging in a teacher led lesson, the other grade level students are working independently in their learning centers. Separating these spaces ensures the students can stay focused on their task. These dividers will ensure each student has a private learning space for optimal learning opportunities!
