The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. By having a decent amount of backups this eliminates students being unable to participate!
Many of my students also struggle with literacy, and thus having easy access to lower level texts will greatly improve their love of reading!
Several of my students also tend to come to class without the proper materials due to an inability to purchase the materials! Having staple materials (pens, pencils, markers, erasers) easily available will alleviate the pressure to buy them with their own money!
