Because of you, my students now have kidney tables and hands-on manipulatives that are already making a meaningful difference in how they learn each day.\r\n\r\nWe are using the kidney tables during small-group instruction for reading and math. These tables have created a welcoming space where students can sit together, focus, and receive more individualized support. The manipulatives have been especially powerful during math lessons. One memorable moment was when students used the manipulatives to model numbers and solve problems together—students who are usually hesitant to participate were excited to explain their thinking and proudly show their work.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with excitement. They immediately asked when they could use the tables and eagerly explored the manipulatives. Several students said it felt like a \"real learning space,\" and they were thrilled to have tools they could touch, move, and learn from. Their enthusiasm carried straight into our lessons and boosted both engagement and confidence.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue using the kidney tables for targeted small-group lessons, including guided reading, math intervention, and collaborative problem-solving. The manipulatives will support upcoming lessons in number sense, addition and subtraction, and critical thinking activities. These resources are helping my students build foundational skills while learning to work together and communicate their ideas.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students this opportunity.
