A half-moon table for classrooms, commonly known as a kidney table, is a must-have for teachers who incorporate small group work into their routines. The outer edge of the table is rounded or curved for the students to sit comfortably around. The opposite side includes a cut-out design that allows teachers to sit close to their students. This allows the teacher to easily assist students when they need it. It also makes direction giving and explanations by the teacher easier for students to understand since their teacher is directly in front of them. The tables can seat up to 8 children at a time. Teachers often utilize the tables for smaller groups, between 4 and 6 students. The tables are designed to support both learners and educators.

Why Schools Choose Half-Moon Classroom Tables
Our half-moon classroom tables have many benefits, including:
- Build Confidence- The tables allow teachers to pull students and work with them in a small group setting. Small group settings allow shy students to answer questions and give them the confidence to speak up when they usually stay quiet in a full class setting. This type of setting is less intimidating to students and allows them to fully participate.
- Increase Focus- This type of seating plan, where the teacher is in the middle of the students, helps to increase student engagement and focus. There is often a lot going on in a classroom. Taking students to a separate table decreases the number of distractions. With the teacher sitting directly in front of them, the students are more likely to make eye contact and pay attention to instructions and corrections.
- Versatility- A half-moon table for classrooms can be used for many different things. They can be incorporated into all types of classrooms thanks to their adjustable legs. They are great for any teacher who is looking to support their students in small groups or one-on-one. They can also be used solely by the students for centers or group work. The possibilities are endless!
