This thoughtful addition has truly transformed the learning environment by providing a dedicated space for small group activities and individual student support. It allows me to give more personalized attention to my students, helping them feel more comfortable and engaged in their learning process. The kidney table encourages collaboration and communication among students, fostering a sense of teamwork that is essential at this developmental stage.\r\n\r\nHaving this table in my classroom has also made a positive impact on classroom management and organization. It creates a designated area where students can work quietly and focus on their tasks without distractions. The versatility of the kidney table means I can easily transition between different activities, whether it's reading groups, math centers, or one-on-one conferencing. This thoughtful gift has made my teaching more efficient and effective, allowing me to better meet the diverse needs of my students.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, I am deeply appreciative of the kindness behind this gift. It reflects the support and community that surrounds my classroom, inspiring me to continue creating a nurturing and productive learning environment.

I am truly grateful for this generous gesture, which will benefit my students and enrich their educational experience throughout the year.","fullyFundedDate":1621095740826,"projectUrl":"project/in-need-of-a-kidneytable/5557940/","projectTitle":"In Need of a Kidney...Table","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6727561_orig.jpg?crop=902,902,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620227788724","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6727561"},{"teacherId":8341727,"projectId":9102851,"letterContent":"Pencils and colored pencil donations have made a tremendous difference in my grades 5–8 music class by ensuring that every student comes to class prepared to engage with the material. Before receiving these supplies, many students often came without writing tools, making it difficult to complete essential written activities such as music theory exercises, composing rhythms, or taking notes on listening assignments. With pencils readily available, students now participate more consistently and confidently, which has improved both their comprehension and accountability in class.\r\n\r\nColored pencils, in particular, have opened up new creative opportunities that help students better understand abstract musical concepts. For instance, students use colors to visually organize and illustrate their ideas when learning about instrument families or musical form. This has been especially helpful for visual learners and students with different learning styles, making the content more accessible and engaging. Projects like designing album covers, mapping out music dynamics with color-coded levels, or creating illustrated lyrics now feel more meaningful and fun.","fullyFundedDate":1739623465204,"projectUrl":"project/class-essentials/9102851/","projectTitle":"Class Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Penta","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8341727_orig.jpg?crop=619,619,x0,y309&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1713306098624","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8341727"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106928","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":499,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":7,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":75,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":62.9,"schoolId":106928,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about West Broadway Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"West Broadway Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/rhode-island/providence-public-school-district/west-broadway-middle-school/106928"}
