My Project

My 8th grade math and science students thrive when they can move, collaborate, and think beyond the traditional desk. Clipboards will allow them to complete assignments, station activities, labs, and problem‑solving tasks while standing, working with partners, or rotating around the room. Many of my students stay more focused and engaged when they’re not confined to a seat, and clipboards give them the freedom to learn in ways that match their energy and curiosity.

Right now, when we do gallery walks, data collection, scavenger hunts, or group challenges, students struggle to balance papers on their hands or lean awkwardly on walls.

Clipboards will give every student a sturdy writing surface so they can participate fully and confidently in these activities.

A clipboard holder will keep our materials organized, accessible, and ready for use. Instead of clipboards being scattered around the room or stacked on counters, students will be able to grab one quickly and return it neatly — supporting independence, responsibility, and smooth transitions.

This project will help create a more flexible, student-centered classroom where movement, collaboration, and hands-on learning are part of our daily routine. Your support will directly impact how my students experience math and science, making lessons more active, engaging, and joyful.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
