My Project

Having the ability to work closely with our students gives us a better understanding of their needs and the ability to address them. This kidney table will give the students the chance to come and meet with their teacher to work in a small group and to collaborate with their peers in a smaller setting. Teachers can conference with the students to foster their needs, support them and push them to their best potential.

Having a laminator and laminating sheets will help us to support our students with our small group and hands-on activities.

Being able to laminate our materials will allow us to reuse them year after year.
