Montessori Resurfaces Their Classroom Whiteboard

Help me give my students use of our classroom whiteboard! Ours is so old, it's unusable. This project will also help students learn how to fix something that needs enhancement, rather than trash it! Thanks for your consideration!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gelinas's classroom raised $752

My Project

The dry-erase board will help facilitate quick and easy instruction from the teacher, and communicate announcements and agendas as well.

Our classroom is the 3rd Montessori 4-6th grade band in all of Detroit Public Schools.

We're diligent learners, who love to help share our knowledge with each other, and can use a whiteboard to help this process. We also love to have access to an alternative writing surface than paper. This will be especially exciting to use when diagramming grammar in sentences, making lists for cultural studies, and as an erasable surface to draft writing and solve computational math.
