The kidney tables arrived on an In-Service Day and I had the opportunity to rearrange the whole classroom before the students returned to school the next day. They noticed right away and of course they all wanted to be seated at the new tables!\r\n\r\nThe kidney tables serve to more than impress Middle Schools students. My classroom is used for Learning Lab and small group. These are students that need a little extra help and one on one attention from the teacher. Having kidney tables allows myself and/or my co-teacher to float from table to table without bringing undue attention to our actions. Since we are able to sit amongst the students we are not hovering at their shoulders.\r\n\r\nMiddle School is an age when students are reluctant to ask for extra help or to acknowledge they may need a little more attention. When my co-teacher and I are able to be unobtrusive the students are more apt to accept our assistance. Thank you for helping us to help them. It is much appreciated.","fullyFundedDate":1726745546096,"projectUrl":"project/a-table-can-make-a-world-of-difference/8416125/","projectTitle":"A Table Can Make a World of Difference!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Falconetti","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9552721_orig.jpg?crop=2994,2994,x359,y11&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760903695868","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9552721"},{"teacherId":534262,"projectId":5299242,"letterContent":"My students have learned to collaborate and challenge themselves due to your generosity.
