By having a clear, visual representation of their day and their goals, my students are learning critical executive functioning skills. They are becoming more independent and self-reliant. The notebooks you provided have also become cherished portfolios of their progress, allowing them to look back and see how much they have grown.\r\n\r\nTo the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation, thank you for believing in my students.

A teacher or facilitator can sit in the center curve, allowing close interaction with all students at the table. This setup encourages more personalized instruction, ideal for differentiated learning in fourth grade.\r\n\r\n2. **Improved Student Engagement**\r\n The curved layout brings students closer to the teacher and to each other, fostering a sense of inclusion and engagement. It supports active participation, especially during guided reading, math groups, or collaborative projects.\r\n\r\n3. **Supports Social and Communication Skills**\r\n The collaborative nature of the table encourages students to work together, share ideas, and develop important social skills like turn-taking, listening, and respectful discussion—all essential for fourth graders' developmental stage.\r\n\r\n4. **Promotes Focus and Eye Contact**\r\n Because of its shape, the table promotes better eye contact between students and the teacher. This creates a more focused learning environment and helps maintain student attention during lessons.\r\n\r\n5. **Efficient Classroom Management**\r\n The design allows the teacher to monitor multiple students at once, making it easier to provide support and maintain classroom discipline. It also reduces the distance between teacher and students, which can minimize disruptions and maximize learning time.\r\n\r\n6. **Encourages Cooperative Learning**\r\n The collaborative setup naturally lends itself to cooperative learning strategies, where students can peer tutor, brainstorm together, and engage in hands-on group activities.\r\n\r\n7. **Accessibility and Flexibility**\r\n The kidney shape provides space for movement and is typically accessible for students with varying physical needs. It also adapts well to different teaching strategies—from direct instruction to inquiry-based learning.","fullyFundedDate":1750025337916,"projectUrl":"project/collaborative-circles/9320043/","projectTitle":"Collaborative Circles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. LaRocca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10014325_orig.jpg?crop=469,469,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746454097395","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10014325"},{"teacherId":8397011,"projectId":9248144,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my DonorsChoose project and helping bring voice recording buttons into our ENL classroom!
