My Project

My students love the idea of writing and sharing their work for their classmates to see. With your help, I look forward to transforming an old chalkboard into a whiteboard that students can use to hold their thoughts, ideas, and process. A whiteboard in the classroom is easier to reuse and maintain while helping students visualize concepts.

This large space will allow students to come together and participate in hands-on learning.

By changing such a vast space in our classroom, every student has the opportunity to visualize and contribute to our math and science lessons.
