Donate a Kidney (Table) to English Language Learners

My students need a kidney-shaped table for small group instruction.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Price's classroom raised $347

My Students

No one likes bumping elbows with a co-worker at work, neither do our students. A kidney-shaped table is the most efficient way for a teacher to be fully accessible to each student during small group instruction.

My students attend a Title I school in Indiana.

Our school provides ninety-nine percent free and reduced lunches and text book rental. Most of our students live in government subsidized housing. Despite these disadvantages, each of our students believe he, or she, is college bound. Our school is part of the No Excuses University program with a pro-college focus. My students are striving to be fluent in two or more languages. They are hard working dedicated students that take school seriously. Small group instruction is the best way for students to conquer fluency in another language. We do many activities to improve all facets of English including speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

My Project

A table may seem like a silly thing to ask for. However having the materials I need as a teacher improves my classroom engagement which leads to higher student achievement. The small inadequate table that we now has become overcrowded with student materials such as writing journals, books, maps, diagrams, and other materials. Sometimes it is easier to meet on the floor than to use the table we have. The crescent shape of a kidney table would help my students be in closer proximity to me while maintaining personal space from one another.

As a second year ELL specialist I have requested a similar table several times.

My corporation simply does not have the funding for this project at this time. My students and I would be grateful and thankful for finally having the appropriate space.
