This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students attend an urban public charter school in Baltimore. They come from various areas of the city and various backgrounds. Despite the hardships of living in low poverty households, my students are eager to learn and very energetic in the classroom.
They are motivated learners who are at the beginning of their school journey and are just learning how to organize themselves and their materials in the classroom.
They strive to try their best even when faced with adversity in their lives.
My Project
Students in my classroom spend time working independently completing assignments. Several of my students need spaces in the classroom without the distraction of other students. These desks and chairs will allow my students a space apart from other students, but with the added advantage of a flexible seating option.
Not all students work best at a group table in a typical classroom chair, and these tables and chairs are the perfect way to provide my students an alternative to sitting in a group on plastic chairs.
Students need to find what works best for them, and they may be able to find they do their best work in a different seating arrangement.
