The new stools have been a wonderful addition to our learning environment and have helped create a comfortable, inviting space for students to work together.\r\n\r\nMy third graders were so excited when they first saw the stools! They couldn't wait to try them out and immediately loved having a special place to sit during small-group activities. We have been using our table for guided reading, math instruction, collaborative learning, and individualized support. The stools have made this space more functional and welcoming, allowing students to gather comfortably and focus on their learning.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things has been seeing how excited students are to come to the table for small-group instruction. Something as simple as new seating has helped make these learning opportunities feel special!\r\n\r\nAs we continue through the school year, we will use this space for targeted instruction, hands-on activities, and opportunities for students to strengthen their skills and build confidence. Having a dedicated, comfortable learning area makes such a difference in our daily classroom routines.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and helping make our classroom a place where everyone feels excited, supported, and ready to learn.

We use the table every day for small-group reading instruction, guided writing, and one-on-one support. Having a dedicated space where I can sit right next to my students has made our lessons more focused, engaging, and personal.\r\n\r\nWhen the table arrived, my students were thrilled. They immediately asked when it would be their turn to sit at the \"special table.\" They love coming over for small-group time and feel proud and excited to be part of our learning groups. The table has quickly become a place where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and celebrating their progress.\r\n\r\nBecause of this new resource, our next steps include more targeted reading groups and individualized support during writing and math lessons. I'm able to meet with students more efficiently, track their growth closely, and tailor instruction to meet their specific needs. This table has helped create meaningful learning moments that simply weren't possible before.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving us a space where confidence grows, learning deepens, and students feel seen and supported. Your generosity has made a lasting difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1760967851817,"projectUrl":"project/the-kidney-table-where-collaboration-c/9733617/","projectTitle":"The Kidney Table: Where Collaboration Comes Alive","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ritacco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9498027"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81183","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":342,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.8,"schoolId":81183,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Radcliffe Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Radcliffe Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/nutley-public-school-district/radcliffe-elementary-school/81183"}
