Easel for My Fantastic First Graders

Help me give my students a mobile easel to enhance their learning experience.

My Students

My class consists of 25 energetic, creative, and smart first graders. I teach in a Title I school and 100% of my students receive free lunch. My school has a high percentage of children from low-income families. Not every family has the financial stability to supply the children with the proper supplies to be successful in school. They are eager, active learners who come to school ready to learn each day.

My school is in a low-income area and my students face many challenges.

Despite the challenges they face outside of school my students strive to do their very best. My students motivate me to be the best teacher ever. They are very encouraging, and they bring joy to my class every day.

My Project

Easels are essentially learning stations that help students get more engaged in the topic at hand, motivating them to go on to the next. Teacher Easels make it easier for teachers to plan and teach. Students are more engaged and involved while using easels. A mobile easel in my classroom will aid small group learning and provide me with constant access to learning resources. During story time, the easel will come in handy. Imagine walking into a classroom and seeing a child writing the classroom tale on an easel whiteboard.

My students will be able to use the easel to build words using magnetic letters and will allow me to effectively model read aloud, letter formation, and sentence spacing.

The easel will be an excellent addition to our classroom, allowing my students to work on math problems and participate in small group instruction. This will have a significant impact on our classroom's hands-on learning method.
