Table Talks: Redifining Spaces

Funded Jul 6, 2023

I am so very thankful and grateful for all the donations and support for my Tables Talk project that brings my students and me together daily to learn make new memories and have new experiences. The table and stools have allowed me to provide a positive learning environment where I am able to work in small groups with my students on a daily basis helping them to reach their highest potential in a fun space. The table and stools have allowed us to come together and play learning games and activities in small groups as well as pulling students back to work one-on-one in areas they are struggling. We utilize it daily to work one-on-one or in small groups. We do timed fluency reads, assignments, games, computer time, and many other activities at the table so students are able to focus on what we are doing rather than everyone and everything around them. This area is one of my student's favorite areas to come to and I often have students asking if can we do a small group today or sit at the table and get extra help from you. Not only has the table been beneficial in bringing my students together in small groups and one-on-one learning but as a Special Education teacher who holds tons of IEP meetings it has been the gathering point for meetings because it provides the space we need to lay everything out for the meeting for viewing, discussions, and signatures.”

With gratitude,
