Help me give my students a better opportunity for learning with this Magnetic Easel and Dry Erase Board that I can use from my home since we are pure virtual until further notice.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lozano's classroom raised $683

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are in a STEAM Charter School. Our school is a fairly new elementary school and our Charter used to be STEM and not STEAM. It was also a 6-12 school. Now, we have added TK-5. As a teacher, I try to provide my students, from a low socioeconomic background and primarily English Learners, with as many visual aids and extra tools as possible.
As a STEAM school, it is very important to integrate the arts into my curriculum which requires appropriate materials to promote diversity.
Although we have the very basic supplies provided (which go very fast), there are more non traditional supplies in addition to the traditional ones needed to be inclusive of our very diverse population. We are a melting pot of special needs, multiracial, and diverse socioeconomic population. Help me provide what is needed for my students.
My Project
So how do I put this? Life has changed significantly due to Covid 19. The way I teach, the way the kids learn and the way school in general is done has changed. For the most part, I have been able to make some pretty decent adjustments. But there is one thing that I don't have, which is causing me to struggle. I don't have my whiteboard.
Having this mobile magnetic whiteboard in my home will allow me to give the kids the feel of an actual classroom, while being online in Zoom, safe at home.
I basically suck at drawing with a mouse on a virtual board, but I am awesome with a marker in my hand. Yes, we have virtual platforms. Yes the technology is there. But there is something missing, in my opinion. Something that the kids can just feel inside that is the familiarity of having the teacher actually write on the board. It doesn't freeze, it doesn't glitch and the writing can be colorful with my own hand as the font without driving me batty trying to search around for exactly what I am looking for. I can use it for EVERY subject!
So yes, it is technically a tool that will be in my home, but it is 100% so that the kids can be taught in a way that I feel comfortable with, therefore making it a stronger lesson for them. Help this dinosaur add some "old school" back into this new digital age.
