Can You Help Me Read?

My students need a kidney shaped table.

Mrs. Muszynski Caroline Sibley Elementary School

Calumet City, IL Grades 3-5

Have you struggled in class trying to compete with the "good" readers?? Have you wished that you could learn in a smaller setting?? Well if so, then you know how some of my students feel. You know that it is important to have small group guided reading instruction. Many of my students struggle with decoding words, comprehension, and/or confidence in their ability to read. They find it hard to "keep up". In order for me to help these students become strong readers, I need to meet with them in small groups!!! This table will allow me to do that effectively.

Right now I have 27 students in my room and without this table it is very hard to conduct small group lessons. All of my students are bright! They love to learn and they want to read! I am very lucky to be able to teach such wonderful kids!!! They deserve this kidney-shaped table! They deserve the opportunity for small groups and more teacher attention.

With this table, I would no longer have to lean over desks and try to focus a small group while others are working. With this table, I will be able to provide an area in my classroom dedicated to just small group reading. My students would be able to get instruction to meet their individual needs and feel like they are getting my attention. They would feel important and successful. This would help build their confidence to become great readers!

Please fund us!!! We need YOU!!! We would really appreciate a kidney shaped table!! Because of YOU, students can become successful lifelong readers. This would make such a difference for my students and me. We are crossing our fingers that we are chosen!!!
