Mrs. Burkle from Gackle ND is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

No More Teacher Desk

Help me give my students space to work together. These materials will allow me to get rid of a teacher desk and allow all places in the room to be open work space for the students.

My Students

I teach 1st grade at a rural school located in North Dakota. Most students know everyone within the school and share a lot of the same interests. We connect the majority of our lessons to the shared experiences the students have.

My students are creative, full of questions, and very energetic.

They love hands-on projects and find ways to take things to the next level. Many of my students do not have the support or resources at home to continue their learning. I want to be able to supply the right tools in my classroom so that each student is able to apply their creative thinking to overcome different challenges.

My Project

I would love to have a kidney table to be able to work with students at. The only current place for a student to work with me is at their desk or mine. I would like to remove my desk from the classroom and have a table where students can work individually or in groups with me and one another.

By removing the teacher's desk and replacing it with a table, students will feel more comfortable and less intimidated.

Students and teachers will share an open and active learning space. Teachers will be more engaged with their students than working at their desk.
