Sit and Learn in a Small Group

Funded Mar 27, 2018

The kidney table and stools that we received from Donors Choose were an amazing gift to both my students and myself. We have used the desk and stools for many different projects in class. The desk allows the students to work comfortably together, especially when working on science and social studies projects.

P.S.120 is focused on all aspects of the curriculum, but we have a strong focus on raising students' reading levels. Most of our students are English Language Learners. One strategy we incorporated into our curriculum is Guided Reading. The kidney table and the chairs have been designated a Guided Reading area. I meet students at the table and we are able to work in a small group reading and discussing various texts. Having this special area allows students to engage with the teacher and each other.

At the end of the day, the table, and stools are extremely handy - they give me the space to spread out my work when I am grading homework, classwork and tests.

I truly appreciate your generosity.

Thank you,
