Building a Foundation for Democracy: A Civics Class Whiteboard

Help me give my students a break from their screens.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fondale's classroom raised $177

This project is fully funded

My Project

A strong foundation in government and civics is essential for every citizen in a democratic society. By understanding the principles, institutions, and processes that shape our nation, students can become informed and engaged participants in the democratic process. Word walls are invaluable tools for fostering vocabulary development, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of complex concepts.

With a whiteboard, I can create a dynamic and easily updatable word wall that will enhance my students' learning experience.

By visually representing key terms and concepts, students can make connections between different ideas and reinforce their understanding of government and civics. This will not only improve their academic performance but also equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to become responsible and engaged citizens.

By investing in this project, you are helping to cultivate the next generation of informed and active citizens. A well-educated citizenry is the cornerstone of a thriving democracy, and I am committed to providing my students with the tools and resources they need to succeed.
