My Project

My classroom has tables on wheels. Over the years, the wheels have broken off. Now the tables are constantly moving about the room. Students don't seem to notice, but as they creep closer and closer to the board, a third of the tables can no longer see what's on the board clearly.

These furniture coasters can help keep my room from chaos and keep kids learning.

If there was a set of coasters under each table, they should stay in place. This would keep students from crowding other students as the rows collapse upon each other, and it should keep students clearly seeing the board.

As a special education teacher I have IEP documents that can be nearly 30 pages. To staple these together usually requires me pounding on a stapler. This trashes a stapler, which leads to needing to pound on it anytime you have to staple anything. As you can imagine this is disruptive, and is difficult for students to work.
