My Project

I’m lucky to teach a group of curious, kind, and eager kindergarten students. They love to explore, ask questions, and work together. Each child is unique, coming from diverse backgrounds, and they bring a special energy to the classroom every day. Watching them help each other and grow is truly inspiring.

The kidney table I’m requesting will make a big difference in our classroom.

It will allow me to work closely with small groups of students, providing personalized support while encouraging collaboration. The table's shape promotes teamwork, making it easier for them to engage with each other during activities and lessons. It will also help me provide one-on-one attention, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to succeed.

My goal is to create a space where my students can actively engage, work together, and grow academically and socially. This kidney table will help foster collaboration, improve focus, and support differentiated learning.

My students are amazing because of their enthusiasm, kindness, and curiosity. Despite challenges, they come to school excited to learn and help each other. With the right resources, they’ll continue to thrive and reach their full potential.

Thank you for helping make our learning space even better!
