My students need 37 Boogie Boards for daily math, reading, and writing instruction.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jenks's classroom raised $581
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
The markers are dry, the erasers can't be found, and getting up in the middle of the lesson when something stops working is distracting. This is a daily battle when using whiteboards for instruction in my classroom. These boogie boards will help eliminate this and help students focus on learning!
I have a classroom of 25 students who are fun-loving and hard-working.
Many are English language learners, many are special education, and most (approximately 90%) qualify for free or reduced lunch. These students come to school excited for learning, and love to get their hands on anything that will help increase their learning. Many of these students go home to houses with little to no updated technology. Beyond these odds, my students work hard to achieve a level one status, and are fabulous human beings. These students are excited to learn, and absolutely love learning.
My Project
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. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction form either myself or other students. By having LCD tablets, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning!
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
