Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 Project

In my classroom, I inherited a wobbly, bulky, round table to use with small groups. This table takes up a lot of space in my otherwise small room. The stools I have are not adequate for 5th grade students, and some have already been broken by students tilting on them.

Please help me crate a functional, comfortable small group learning space for my students.

Small group time is critical for intervention and growth. Right now, what I have just isn't working.

The school has no other tables or stools I can have moved to my room. I need your help to continue improving the functionality of my classroom.
