My Project

As a class, we use whiteboards and dry eraser markers daily for writing sentences in ELA and for writing how to solve computation problems in math. These are essential tools for the teacher to be able to quickly scan the room and see grows and glows. Our children are both visual and tactile in the learning. There is nothing like watching how students process fragments of words to become totally immersed in completing a written portion and feeling proud of a job well done. I want to be a vehicle for each student’s success.
