My Project

I have an amazing group of students this year with a lot of shy learners (Middle School can be intimidating right). After teaching for 6 years, I've found that allowing my kids to write on their desks with expo markers during math lessons is one of the best engagement tools. It not only allows them to remain engaged in learning, but also allows me to see their thinking and give them feedback in a manner that doesn't "put them on the spot." So I'm requesting some basics that'll help our kids learn AND keep our class clean. Thank you in advance for your consideration!
