The leaves have been falling because it's autumn, and the kids have to rake it up. And they have so much fun. Exercise and movement on the carpet is also a great time for my students.

I have loved seeing the impact this table has done for our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe table has been a great use for me to run my small groups or have some students near me during lessons to get extra support. My students have loved being able to come up to the table and grab a chair to get some 1 on 1 support or to get their work checked. The table has been accessible to all of my students so they know they can grab a stool and come to me for help.","fullyFundedDate":1742950894184,"projectUrl":"project/small-group-table/9144992/","projectTitle":"Small Group Table","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Coronado","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9570334_orig.jpg?crop=575,575,x57,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722381898763","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9570334"},{"teacherId":9175602,"projectId":9200721,"letterContent":"On behalf of our TK Inclusion Class, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your assistance with the purchase of android tablets, sensory toys, and puzzles.
