Keeping The Special Ones Close

My students need a kidney table to be closer to me and work in small groups to build skills.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I teach 5th grade at a Philadelphia Middle School. My group is very diverse. At the most, there are 5 different languages spoken between my students. They are also diverse academically. Some of my students fall far below the reading grade level. As a "super" teacher, I want success for all my students. Each day I am planning different lessons and projects, for the different levels. My higher leveled students are able to participate in student-led projects.

For my students, who need more of me, I want to bring them a little closer.

Some students have fallen behind because of language barriers, some students lack motivation and even more have fallen through the educational cracks in the urban areas.

My Project

I am in the process of designing a flexible seating classroom. This is where we get rid of the desk and chairs and give students an option. So I will be purchasing a variety of comfortable seating. I am confident this will be helpful especially with students who can work independently.

The truth is, everyone doesn't learn the same and I need to keep the students that need me, close.

A kidney table will allow me to work in smaller groups and be able to reach the students I am working with. This will help to improve my lower level readers.
