My Project

Children in Montessori classrooms have the opportunity to self direct learning at tables and rugs on the floor in a beautifully prepared environment designed just for them, including the furniture. I am fortunate to teach 3-6 year old students in a beautiful Montessori environment. My students are hard working children who love learning. We need help to make our classroom even better.

The furniture in our room is meant for older children and is much too big for our classroom.

I want to replace the tables and chairs with child friendly, right sized wood tables and chairs from Lakeshore. My students need furniture that is comfortable and safe. I have replaced one metal table with a wood table from Lakeshore and children love using a table that fits them perfectly.

With your help we could replace another metal table with a beautiful wood table and add 4 wood chairs~2 for each table! The best part of this project will be seeing my students' faces when they enter the classroom to see new furniture that fits them just so.
