Funded Sep 27, 2021I cannot begin to describe the excitement in the faces of my students when they saw our kidney table set up. I have never seen students so excited for small group instruction. Thanks to all of your donations, we have a comfortable space where students can learn and interact with one another and with myself during instruction.
Since receiving the kidney table a few months back, my class and I have been utilizing it in different ways during different subject blocks. During our morning routines, I pull my ELL students, 4-5 students, to go over vocabulary and sight words through Word Study. For reading, I have small groups come to the kidney table to work on similar skills reviewed during our whole group lesson or work on fundamental skills they need to progress on their reading.
One of the biggest ways we have utilized the kidney table is during math. All students are broken into small groups and go into math stations including myself being a station. I am able to meet with each group of students to teach the math lesson differentiated to meet the needs of everyone. Things as simple as a piece of furniture, have made a big difference and a huge impact on my students' lives and that wouldn't be possible if it weren't for all of you.”
