Choice and Creativity in Sharing Our Work

Help me give my students choices in how they share their work and demonstrate their understanding.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kelly's classroom raised $283

My Project

Please help give our students the choice of which materials they will use to demonstrate their understanding and publish their work.

It is so much fun for students to have a variety of materials to choose from when they are editing and revising their work, publishing books, and sharing their thinking.

These materials are fun, creative, and colorful. Students will use them to demonstrate their understanding and share their creative ideas. They will be able to use the whiteboards to quickly display their ideas and thinking and will be able to receive immediate feedback.
