A Table for Guided Small Group Work

Help me give my students a Kids Colors Adjustable Round Table for guided small group work.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rivera's classroom raised $386

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

The moment my students walk through my classroom door, they are ready to get to work. I say, "Are you ready to rock?" and they respond with, "Ready to roll!" I expect nothing but the best from them, and I strive to be the best teacher and provide the best classroom environment I can.

My school serves Latino, Polynesian, and African-American students who live in deep poverty.

These are amazing students, full of life and character, who deserve nothing but the best. Most live in unfortunate situations at home; therefore, the classroom must be anything but unfortunate. I strive to make sure my students have all that they need to be successful in their academics.

My Project

This compact, small, and durable round table will fit perfectly in our classroom right next to my desk which holds all the supplies I need to guide small group work. This desk will sit up to four students comfortably which is the most I like to have in a small group. Space is limited in our classroom but the reality of needing a space to confer one-to-one or guide a small group is that it is a real need.

It is necessary that I provide individualized attention to catch the gaps in the students' learning that might occur through the large group lesson--no falling through the gaps in this class!

I like to have sections or spots in the classroom which the students know exactly what they are designated for when called or asked to go to that space. When I call them to the "round table" they will know automatically that it is time for one-to-one time with the teacher or get ready for a small group guided lesson.

Partner with me in getting this project funded. Thank you in advance.
