Mr. Benson from Fargo ND is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Mr. Benson's Thinking Classroom

Help me give my students these white board needs! I have been teaching with a new method, called Building Thinking Classrooms! This method requires students to work everyday on whiteboards! These things would be a great help!

My Project

In my classroom this year students have worked on math in a new way! I have been using the Building Thinking Classroom strategy! The process works where students are working in new groups everyday up at white boards in my classroom working together to learn the math! My students have loved this process and I am so excited to share my findings and successes with other teachers! It has been fun to watch students work as a team to get to the answer to questions they did not know how to answer just minutes before!
