Science Stools!

Help me give my students 28" Metal stools for Small Group Instruction in Science.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Martinez's classroom raised $236

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Metal stools are a great choice for our small group instruction for several reasons. Science is very hands-on and involves constant movement. In science we are constantly taping, gluing, building, painting and conducting experiments. Students are also busy creating models and need alternative seating in order to move around in the classroom freely.

Science is also messy and students need metal stools that allow them to innovate, engineer and design projects free of traditional seating.

These 28" metal stools can be easily cleaned and they can be stacked so students can plan and construct free of confinements.
