My Project

Small group instruction is done daily in first grade. My classroom is in great need of a new kidney table. The one I currently have is too short and is on risers so that the students and I can fit comfortably. Unfortunately, the risers make the table unsafe. The table has been knocked off the risers and is constantly wobbling which is a huge distraction.

Having a comfortable and safe work place for students to meet for small group instruction is so important.

I meet daily with different groups for reading, writing, and math interventions. Currently, my district doesn't have any other kidney tables available for me to use. Please consider giving to this project to help provide a new kidney table for my classroom.
