My Project
As a dedicated teacher, I strive to give each student the support they need to grow. One of the most effective ways I can do that is through small group instruction—but without the right furniture, it’s a daily challenge. A kidney-shaped table would allow me to work closely with a handful of students at a time, providing targeted instruction in math.
With a kidney table, I’ll be able to sit with students in a semi-circle, maintain eye contact, and easily monitor their work and understanding.
It’s a simple change that would make a huge difference in classroom management, student focus, and instructional quality.
Help me create a space where learning feels more personal, connected, and effective!
