Conferencing Table and Easel to Engage My Students

Funded Oct 7, 2015

We are loving our new conferencing table and easel! It makes working in a small group very functional and fun. We are using the table for guided reading each day. The students feel excited to come sit at the table and embark on their new reading strategy for the day or week. Working at the table almost feels private and exclusive from the rest of the class, so the students really love it.

When the students first saw the materials they were extremely excited! We have 28 students in our class and quarters are quite cramped, so to get a new piece of furniture was very exciting to them. The easel is perfect for our classroom conditions because it has so much storage! It is functional and beautiful too.

Our next steps are to continue to use our table and easel every day! My students are really improving in leaps and bounds and I know that a large part is due to the fact that they receive small group instruction from me with our table and easel.”
