My Project

My classroom is in desperate need of new desks and chairs that fit and are comfortable for students.

Sitting in place where you are comfortable is a top priority in order for learning to take place in the classroom.

My students are currently sitting at desks that have stains and scratches. These desks wobble are not very sturdy for students to work at. Chairs often do not fit the students' heights because of the difference in student height and weight in fourth grade. Some chairs have broken parts, and are not comfortable for the students.

Because of their discomfort, students are in able to engaged in 100% of the learning. I have tried my desk to make these materials as comfortable as possible, but we are in great need for these items.
