Mrs. Shellhorse from White Oak TX is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

To Sit or Not To Sit?!

My students need folding chairs, training tables, stools, and a podium to provide flexible seating for creativity and collaboration. More than two-thirds of my students are from low-income households.

My Students

My students are creative and collaborative high schoolers that love to learn (for the most part!). I teach 88 English II and Pre-AP English II students, but I also teach a UIL literary criticism team of 15 students, as well.

My classes function well when working in groups.

We can only do this with your help. It is difficult to arrange our current student desks into groups while still being able to move around the room. Please do your part in making this possible!

My Project

My students are in need of flexible seating in order to foster creativity and collaboration in our 21st century classroom. I ask you to help fund this project in order to replace our student desks, many of which are broken or have been here since I attended the school!

My students thank you for your desire to enhance their educational experience!

Training tables and padded chairs may not seem like a necessity, but to our children, they mean everything. These training tables will help my students on creative assignments like motif murals, body biographies, and mind maps.

Students spend most of their time sitting in hard desk chairs. With the purchase of the padded folding chairs, not only will they be more comfortable in their home away from home, but we will also have the versatility in moving things around for different projects.

Help my classroom replace our broken and antiquated student desks that should have been replaced years ago.
