I am able to fit 8 students at the table and use it daily for various things. I bring students to the table for reading by grade level with students who are unable to do the work on their own. We write together, I help them edit their writing and revise their ideas and I monitor their computer work. \r\n\r\nThe table is especially useful for supporting students who are struggling in math. We are currently learning about fractions and so many of them need help at various levels. Fourth graders are learning about equivalent fractions and I need to use manipulatives to help them understand what fractions are larger than 1/2 and which ones are the same. Fifth graders are learning to add fractions and to solve word problems with fractions. Some students need help in reading and understanding the problems. Others need help in drawing the models or understanding why the denominator must be the same when they add the fractions. Having the group table helps me support students at the level they need and check their work when they don't need as much help. \r\nThank you for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1786127541613,"projectUrl":"project/teaching-table-target/10336853/","projectTitle":"Teaching Table Target","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3577621_orig.jpg?crop=874,874,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557788889501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-ana-garcia"},{"teacherId":3577621,"projectId":10382204,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation of clipboards that are white erase boards as well. They save space and double in use. We use them during math, writing and social studies to work on the carpet while I model on the projector. During math they work out some problems on the white erase boards and show me their answers so that I can quickly assess who needs more help. During social studies and writing we use the clipboard side to work out our own writing as I model. We also use it to walk around during math or science and take notes when collecting data. The blue plastic folders that you also purchased for us we are currently using to store our social studies worksheets and articles. Students take home articles and some worsheets for homework. We are also allowed to use the information they gather during assessments so having the sheet protectors helps them to keep their information organized and visible when they need it. All of the items you purchased help keep us organized and help us save time. Each student has a pouch that holds pens, pencils, highlighters etc. That way I dont' need to pass them out every time and they don't have to dig through their desks for the items. I do have to remind a few to put their things away in the propre place but it really helps me to train them to be organized.

I often buy snacks for them as they are always hungry. Some of them do not wake up early enough to get the free breakfast that the school provides so having something in those moments is essential. Hungry students cannot learn or focus. I usually offer the snacks as we go out to recess. About 3 of my 26 students bring their own snacks sometimes so they don't always choose to take one. However, the majority of families in my class are struggling and cannot send snacks for their students on a daily basis. I will continue to purchase fruits for them. However, fruit doesn't last and sometimes I am too tired to remember so having a back up snack is great. I chose snacks that are lower in sugar and healthier than what they would normally choose. However, they love them and are very grateful to get them. They clapped when they saw the snacks.

I am hoping to get them to learn the style and be able to create a similar story with the information we are learning in Social Studies. \r\n\r\nI also plan to guide them into learning about Book Clubs where they can discuss the same story or similar ones as they learn about Author's Craft.\r\n\r\nThe books will be very useful this year and in years to come.

Then we transition to our seats and I call back a grade level at a time to do a 10 minute math lesson. I then send them back to their seats and call the other grade level. We spend about an hour going back and forth from seat to carpet. \r\n\r\nI have 26 students. 12 5th graders and 14 4th graders. The carpet is so important in helpingn me differentiate grade level lessons. We do writing and reading together at the carpet most of the time. However, there are lessons that require me to do some grade level specific practice or practice by ability level. I have a horshoe table that can fit 8 students max. The carpet can accommodate everyone or smaller groups.\r\n\r\nAfter lunch we do a community circle to problem solve and learn about bullying and other behavior expectations. The carpet is definetely where we spend the most time.

The calming tools you provided our classroom with are a lifesaver to me and all my students. \r\n\r\nWe use the weighted blankets when we are doing whole group activities in the rug and some students are having trouble sitting still. The weighted blankets have helped prevent others from getting hurt because students are twisting, turning and kicking in the carpet. They like feeling the weight and touching the soft blankets and they help calm them down. Sometimes they use them at the tables when they feel they need help sitting still. I have a Peace Corner with breathing tools, calming widgets and our bean bag which they love. The Peace Corner is used when students are feeling upset and need a break. Sometimes they request it and other times I suggest it. Having various tools to help calm them has improved our classroom culture.\r\n\r\nLast year students would complain, avoid and blame our two most active students because they were often loud and had trouble controling their body. Sometimes their actions would hurt others. Now the two most active students get along much better with the rest of the class and cause less disruptions.
