Magical Work Time

My Project

My students love to use dry erase boards and markers to show their work in both literacy and math. Unfortunately with kindergarteners they often forget to put the tops on their markers or will mark all over their clothes! I love the ease of dry erase markers and boards but I feel terrible sending students home with marks on their clothes as they often will not come out.

By using doodle boards, there is no mess and I don't have to worry about markers drying out or getting on my students clothing.

Students love to quickly share their work and love to be able to erase with ease. I am constantly thinking of ways to make learning fun and engaging for my kindergarten students. My students currently write on boards with whiteboard markers but I would like to provide them with doodle boards. I know these tablets will definitely increase their engagement because they are so fun to write on! We also won't need to worry about whiteboard markers running out of ink. I can already picture the excitement and joy on my students' faces when they use the tablets to spell words, solve addition and subtraction problems or draw! The possibilities are endless!
