My students need KleenSlates to use when responding to various whole group lessons. This will allow me to quickly assess the entire class at one time.

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.
I teach 2nd graders in a low socioeconomic school. My students are highly motivated, sweet kids with a love for learning. Many times they come to school without the necessary supplies or materials needed to be successful learners.
My students thrive when they are exposed to engaging lessons.
I try to provide many opportunities for my students to learn in a variety of ways. I include many different types of materials and supplies throughout the school year. When students walk into my classroom after I have prepared an engaging lesson, the excitement it contagious.
My Project
The use of white boards in my reading classes during whole group lessons and individual practice are daily activities. My students get a white board from their desks while someone passes out the dry erase markers. The dry erase markers dry out or sometimes the tips get smashed into the the whiteboard. Then I have to throw the markers away. I don't have enough erasers, so they use tissues to erase or have to share the few erasers that I do have. This process is time consuming and can be a distraction. Besides, my old whiteboards are very dingy and dirty. If we had KleenSlate whiteboards to use, my students could be prepared and ready to learn in a timely manner.
With the KleenSlate whiteboards, my students will remain focused and stay highly engaged.
These whiteboards are such an improvement to the ones that I already have. They are handheld and can be customized to any reading lesson or skill. Each whiteboard comes with a dry erase sleeve in which students can slide a worksheet into their whiteboard. The markers are an improvement because they have a low odor and write like a pen. They are also very durable.
Many times I just want a quick assessment and can scan the entire class without walking around to individual students. It also minimizes the need for paper and pencil for every skill that I teach. I will be able to see that every student participated when they use a Kleenslate whiteboard because they hold it up for me to see. Plus, everything the students use will be easily available and will reduce the need to pass out materials.
All-in-all this project will improve classroom management and student participation. My students will be very excited to use something new and improved.
