My Project

Individual desks can be effective during independent seat work. A large kidney shaped table can allow for small group instruction. Without one or both it can be problematic. One of my students just told me that it would help him in his learning.

We have small groups of special needs students that require focused instruction.

Most students enjoy having close proximity to their teacher. This furniture will provide that toward thier learning goals. Our elementary school continues to grow and this classroom is an addition to the other resource rooms. That is why we have this need of a kidney shaped table.
