Mrs. Jones Class Has Swag Success, Willingness, Attitude, and Goals
Help me give my students each a hand held white boards and basic supplies of classroom essentials to let their creativity flow in English Language Arts class.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially while on the carpet. Using the workshop model in reading, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly how they are responding to the text as well as provide an easy place for them to record comprehension answers. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. However, we work on precautions to preserve the whiteboard markers with rituals and routines.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology-literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
