Help Us Organize Our Classroom – Kidney-Shaped Table Needed

Dear Donors,

We hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out with a small but meaningful request to help improve our classroom learning environment.

We are in need of a kidney-shaped table to better organize our space and support small group instruction. This type of table will allow our students to engage more closely with their teacher and classmates, enhancing both collaboration and personalized learning.

My students are language disabled which means that they are dependent of visual aids, in order to learn. A lot of my students struggle with attention span. A kidney-shaped table will allow us to work closely with students, offering them the attention they need in a setting where they can feel more comfortable and engaged. This table design supports small group learning, where we can provide targeted language interventions and work on communication skills in a collaborative setting.

Your donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to creating a more effective and welcoming space for our students.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity!
