I am retiring my desks and getting tables this year in order to create a more collaborative learning environment. How will the students keep their materials organized? I think the chair back organizers are going to work perfectly! The personal dry erase boards are a fun kid-friendly way to get students writing. For some students, it is a challenge to put pencil or pen to paper, but using a dry erase board can make writing flow easier. If a student is proud of their work, all I have to do is take a picture and they can continue to develop their ideas in more drafts...if they don't they can just erase it away.
