Many of my learners struggle with traditional desks or the physical demands of working on the floor, so seeing a space designed for them sparked an excitement that was impossible to miss. One student walked around a table with a huge smile and said, \"We can all fit here!\"—a simple statement that captured just how meaningful this change is. During our first small‑group activity, students who typically avoid peer interaction sat together, shared materials, and communicated more naturally than I've ever seen in our room.\r\nThese tables have already transformed the way we work. Because our class focuses heavily on communication, behavior, and socialization, having a neutral, comfortable space has opened the door for more authentic interactions. Students are practicing turn‑taking, using their communication devices more confidently, and engaging in partner tasks with far less hesitation. The round shape encourages eye contact and collaboration, which is especially powerful for my neurodivergent learners and those with language, learning, or intellectual impairments. The environment now supports the skills we are trying to build, rather than working against them.\r\nOur next steps involve expanding our small‑group lessons to include more structured social communication activities—role‑playing, shared problem‑solving, and cooperative games that help students grow not only academically but as individuals. Thanks to your generosity, my students now have a space that truly supports their needs and honors who they are as learners. Your gift didn't just provide furniture; it created opportunities for connection, confidence, and meaningful growth. We are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1769177804364,"projectUrl":"project/lets-communicate-and-collaborate/9920012/","projectTitle":"Let’s Communicate and Collaborate!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Day-Scanlon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2941194_orig.jpg?crop=1028,1028,x40,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695420041423","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2941194"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46633","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":472,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":52,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":48.9,"schoolId":46633,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kenwood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kenwood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/okaloosa-county-school-district/kenwood-elementary-school/46633"}
