Working Apart TOGETHER

Help me give my students an individual space to complete work and store individual materials while providing a socially distant, safe and clean environment that they can personalize and make their own.

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

My classroom is made up of three to five-year-old students. They are from low income families and most of them are learning English as a second language. My school is part of the inner-city public school system, and our program is designed to cultivate and encourage creativity and inventiveness in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Each one of my students is a learner.

We learn from each other. I teach them, they teach each other, and they teach me. Most importantly, we work together to discover the world around us through inquisition and creativity while maintaining a positive attitude.

My Project

Currently, we are working remotely. We have been since March, but we will hopefully be able to be back in the classroom by the end of January. When we are able to be back in the classroom in a hybrid format, I want to be able to ensure my preschool families that everything possible is being done to provide a safe, clean and healthy learning environment.

While preschool students are busy learners that interact as they learn, these individual lap desks will enhance our learning process while keeping students socially distant.

Each student will be able to choose their own work location, selecting a space that allows them to work comfortably, wiggle when they need to without disrupting neighboring students, and store their individual work materials while still following safety protocols.

Keeping students safe is of the utmost importance. Our preschool students are hands-on learners. They are always exploring, touching, and moving. These individual lap desks and individual boxes to store materials will help to define personal space while still being able to learn together. Something that we all miss terribly.
