My Project
I teach 50 fifth graders at Title 1 school. During our math instruction, students learn mostly in small group sizes rather than whole group to maximize one-on-one learning time with students. Small group time is vital to my students' success. I seat about 6-8 kids in one small group at my back table at a time. While my school district does provide your typical classroom chairs, these are far from ideal for my back table. I only have enough chairs for a class set, which means students have to drag their chairs along with them to my back table. I meet with 8 groups a day for math, this means that I have students dragging chairs across the room 16 times a day, which is time-consuming and eats into instruction time. Also, it is hard to fit 6-8 adult-sized chairs at my back table, causing some students to use clipboards instead of the tabletop, which is not ideal. These stools would be permanently kept at my back table so students no longer have to drag their chairs with them. Also, the stools are far less bulky than the classroom chairs, allowing each child to use the tabletop. These stools would minimize classroom distractions due to chair dragging multiple times throughout the day and maximize student comfort and learning time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
