My kindergartners represent a true cross-section of our city. They come from a variety of neighborhoods and backgrounds, and represent all socio-economic brackets. Some have been to preschool, but for many this is their first exposure to the alphabet, reading and writing. Given the diversity in background and exposure, it is crucial that all the children are engaged in the activity and have equal interaction with me, their teacher, as well as the opportunity to collaborate. Currently my students are working on long tables that are wobbly with stained and scarred writing surfaces. The format makes it difficult for me to interact with all students equally and give them the assistance they need while the condition of the tables makes it difficult for the students to work.
