My Project

Through a recent professional development study, I learned that having students use whiteboards to answer questions can be more beneficial than having them come to the board or write down answers. Not only does it give all students the ability to answer the questions, it shows that they were more likely to think longer and harder to get the correct answer when in the group. The colorful index cards will be used for making word parts and sight word flash cards. The basketballs will be used for my students choice time when we go to the gym. The colorful lights will just add a little fun to the classroom.
