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 Students

Our students are amazing! We live in a high poverty area, and our students do not let that get them down. Our students work hard and love to learn new things every day. Watching our students overcome the obstacles facing them fills me with so much pride. I could not ask for a better group of students. We have a wonderful classroom community, and we love to spend our days together. I would like to have these materials to motivate them even more!

My Project

I have a large class of 26 amazing students. They work hard each and every day to learn as much as they can. Due to the size of our class, we do not have a lot of space to move around the room. We are unable to have brain breaks, indoor recess, or centers on the floor. Desk arrangements are changed often to help with this, but there are simply too many desks in the room to make it work.

Having tables instead of desks would free up floor space for centers, transitions, and collaboration among students.

I like students to sit in groups and have free spaces in the room to work on the floor with small groups, which is difficult to do with a group this large. These round tables will give students their own workspace, while still enabling them to collaborate with others in their groups.

We anticipate our class sizes to stay around this size for the next few years, so these tables will be a necessity for my classroom. I have taught with desks and tables through the years, and tables have always worked better. Please consider donating to this cause!
