A Space to Think, Learn and Grow

Help me give my students a dedicated space to share their thinking, engage in hands-on learning and build confidence through collaboration.

My Project

Having an easel in our classroom will create a central space where students can gather to learn, share, and grow together. it will allow me to model lessons clearly, display anchor charts, and provide a visual focus point during whole group instruction. This will help my students better understand new concepts and stay engaged, especially during reading, writing and math lessons. The easel will also support small group instruction by fiving us a flexible space to work through ideas and build skills collaboratively.

The individual whiteboards with clipboards will give each student their own personal learning space.

These tools make it easy for students to practice writing, solve math problems and respond during lessons in a fun, low-pressure way. They'll be able to quickly show their thinking, get immediate feedback, and make corrections without the fear of making mistakes on paper. This kind of active participation helps boost confidence, encourages risk taking, and keeps students involved throughout the day.
