Small Group Kidney Table

Help me give my students access to small group learning with a kidney shaped table.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nelson's classroom raised $418

This project is fully funded

My Students

All students are diverse and energetic 5 and 6 year olds in a southern Arizona Title 1, STEAM (science, technology, engineering and math) school.

99% of our students qualify to receive free lunch.

Most are English Language Learners, including refugees from Africa, Asia, Mexico and the Middle East. All coming from low-income households, living in neighborhood apartments and trailer parks. School is often the first place my students are exposed to literacy, math and STEAM activities in English. They come from homes where education is often not a priority, making the initial readiness gap wider. They strive to do their best against the odds and are always excited to come to school and learn.

My Project

While teaching kindergarten, it is important to work with students in small groups. Whether it be language arts, math, science or social studies.

A kidney table will benefit my students and their ability to spend small group time with their teacher to meet for small group instruction, guided reading, intervention, collaboration with classmates, and give me, the teacher, a desk to work from.

In addition, a kidney shaped table is beneficial to the learning experience of the students while providing scaffolding, feedback and guided practice. It also allow the teacher to gather students with similar needs and goals, and stretch them upward to the next level of learning.
