This table has truly transformed the way I work with my students during small group instruction. Its design and functionality make it the centerpiece of our learning space, creating an inviting and collaborative environment where students are excited to gather, discuss, and learn together.\r\n\r\nOne of the most remarkable features of this table is its writable surface. Allowing students to write directly on the table has opened up a new way of thinking and problem-solving. My students use it to sketch diagrams, work through equations, and explain their reasoning right on the surface in front of them. This hands-on, visual approach has led to deeper understanding and richer discussions. I've seen students who were once hesitant to participate become more confident and engaged simply because they can erase and try again in real time.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided us with a piece of furniture but with a tool that inspires creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking every single day. Thank you for investing in my students' learning and for supporting an environment where curiosity and understanding can flourish. We are truly grateful for your kindness and belief in the power of education.","fullyFundedDate":1749034087567,"projectUrl":"project/shaping-success-in-small-groups/9382272/","projectTitle":"Shaping Success in Small Groups","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. LoBue","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2527609"},{"teacherId":2152848,"projectId":9240106,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to my students.

The students that complete all the books by a certain date are invited to a fun filled day of meeting authors, crafts, and the highlight of the day a limo ride!!! The limo takes groups of students to a local restaurant for lunch.
