Let's Check For Understanding

Help me give my students dry erase paddle boards for sharing immediate feedback to questions.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thurman's classroom raised $312

My Project

I work with students in kindergarten in basic reading and math skills. I would like to use dry erase paddle boards to help students who are easily distracted in the classroom when using the traditional paper and pencil. Dry erase paddle boards are another way for my students to stay involved as well as grasp the concept of what is being taught in my classroom.

The goal of this project is to provide resources to my students that help them stay engaged in the lesson.

In addition to staying engaged in the lesson, these dry erase paddle boards are easy for their little hands to hold. The dry erase paddle boards allow me to get a quick check for understanding from my students. The dry erase paddle boards are useful when working with my students in a small group setting. They are an alternative way to interact with my students without having to use technology, which sometimes does not always work when I need it to.
