My Project

In our preschool classroom, small group learning is at the heart of how children grow, explore, and connect with new ideas. A kidney-shaped table will give me the perfect space to work closely with my students in a way that keeps them engaged and supported. Unlike a standard rectangular table, the kidney shape allows me to sit in the center and be close to every child, making it easier to guide their learning, provide individualized attention, and build strong teacher-student connections.

Right now, we don’t have a table that allows for this type of interaction.

Having a kidney table will help us create a more focused and nurturing environment for activities like early literacy, math, and hands-on projects. It will also make group work feel special and inviting, giving children a space where they can collaborate, share, and feel successful.

With your support, this kidney table will become a central hub in our classroom where curiosity is sparked, confidence grows, and every child feels seen and supported.
