Space Saver Computer Desk

Help me give my students an easier space to work around with this computer desk that will allow us to use our room more efficiently.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruffo's classroom raised $156

My Project

This desk will allow me to set up a semi private area where I can meet and conference with my students where they will feel more comfortable and confident in discussing their work and progress. It will help to provide an “office space” of sorts in a corner of the room where some may have an easier time of opening up, asking questions and talking about plans for current or future essays and/or project ideas. It will also provide an area where students can work together out of the way of classroom traffic. It will help with the flow of learning opportunities in many different ways!
