Mrs. Loken’s Classroom Edit display name

We use white boards each day in my classroom, most often during Math instruction. Using the workshop model in math, students will come to the carpet for their mini-lesson and then will work on their whiteboards for guided practice. The whiteboards allow me to see at a glance how they are problem solving. The white boards also provide an easy place for them to show their work and share it with partners. Students sometimes use white boards as part of their independent work as well. After 9 years using the same white boards, the time has definitely come to replace them. Most of the boards have become stained and students often do whatever they can to find one of the cleaner boards. This takes time away from the lesson and also causes distractions as there will inevitably be one or two students who are upset about having a "yucky" white board. My students would love to be able to work with shiny new white boards. Thank you in advance for your help in making this happen!
