Goal setting and providing rewards for hard work in meeting goals has been a huge motivator for achievement in the classroom.

These tables allow for four children at a time to sit around them and do their work, eat their lunch and create memories!\r\n\r\nThese tables have made a huge improvement in our ability to clean messes as well. With their table top finishing, everything wipes up clean. This is by far one of the best features we as teachers have found because our play and activities can have their element of mess in them!\r\n\r\nThe tables are lightweight and can be rearranged to fit our needs for various activities and have been the perfect addition to our classroom.

This has helped with following one step direction skills and identifying colors. \r\n\r\nAt the end of the day, the chairs are able to be stacked on the tables and the children are able to move them without assistance.

Every student now has their own copy, which allows everyone to follow along together, stay on the same page, and fully participate in discussions. Instead of sharing or waiting for turns, students can annotate, reference specific passages, and engage more deeply with the text. This has created a smoother flow during lessons and has eliminated many of the interruptions that used to slow us down.\r\n\r\nIn addition, having class sets has allowed us to expand how we use the novel for instruction. We can plan meaningful group activities, writing assignments, and comprehension checks with the confidence that every student has access to the same materials.
