Help Us Learn Easel-Y

Help me give my students a teaching center easel for our classroom. This essential teaching tool will help me teach whole group lessons for reading, writing and math workshop. It will also allow for student engagement and participation.

My Students

They may be small, but they are MIGHTY! My smart and creative group of 21 kindergarten students are working hard to become readers, writers, and mathematicians. My classroom is made up of a diverse group of learners from different socioeconomic backgrounds, learners with special needs, as well as English language learners.

Kindergarten sets the foundation, not only for learning academics but learning HOW to be ready to learn.

My kindergarteners are also developing listening skills, teamwork skills, increasing independence, and building a classroom community. I strive to provide them social, emotional and academic excellence through student lead, hands-on​ learning experiences.

My Project

A new easel will help me to teach efficiently while engaging my students in reading, writing and math! Our easel will be used to display anchor charts, hold Big Books, and encourage student interaction. The whiteboard will be used for teacher-led instruction as well as student participation. Students will use the magnetic surface for manipulating materials, such as pattern block and magnetic letters. The Big Book ledge will ensure that all students can see our Read-Aloud and racks and sliding tubs will be used to store valuable resources used for whole group instruction, such as dry erase markers and magnetic manipulatives.

The classroom easel is an essential teaching tool for reading, writing, and math workshop!

The easel will create a more functional whole group learning space. Our current easel is too small and does not move. The new easel can be stationary or move easily on wheels. The baskets below the easel will house and organize materials accessible for me and my students. The larger board will allow all students to view the learning materials and be engaged, active learners.
