Fantastic Dry Erase Boards Are Needed!

Help me give my students dry erase boards, chart paper and markers so we can practice writing in Spanish in a more interactive way.

My Students

My students are fantastic. They are full of energy and they are always eager to learn new things. My students are, in general, visual learners and it would be super helpful to get some extra resources that would help me supply their needs.

Students in my classes are very curious and often dare to try new things and speak up in front of their peers.

I teach in a Middle School in an impoverished urban area, and we could use some help to get resources so students can be as successful as they can be.

My Project

My students are very social, so I must think about activities and games that keep them engaged and, as much as possible, socializing with each other. In order to achieve this, I think that dry erase boards are going to facilitate a lot of different games and activities that we can do as a whole class or in small groups. This way, students will have to write, and share with other students in the target language what they have written on the board.

Also, the chart paper is going to be very useful especially for group projects, where students will have to write their ideas and then do a presentation for the rest of the class.

In order to do these activities we will need markers, and pencils. I think that stickers and stamps in the target language are a good way to show students my appreciation and to let them know that they are doing a good job.
