My Project

In a science classroom, my students get lab tables and generally, there are about 4-5 students at each table. I need a class set of testing dividers to use during testing so that my students have the privacy and space they need to focus on their test. Papers, calculators, and reference tables gets shuffled and it causes a lot of distractions. These dividers can also help my students focus by blocking out other students at their table, but still allowing me to keep an eye on them. These dividers would be a good addition to my classroom!
