Road to Collaboration

Help me give my students classroom supplies they will need to collaborate and be the best they can be.

My Project

My goal is to continue to build a student led classroom. The items I am requesting will help give students a voice. Post it chart paper is a great way to have kids work together and evaluate each other's work. Keeping the work posted around the room gives opportunity for showcasing student work. Dry erase clipboards allow for students to take their work with them as they share and compare with peers. Students will have the markers and writing space to work around the room, share strategies and ideas with classmates, and peer edit their work.

The road to collaboration is paved with tools like the ones I am requesting in this project.

These tools will encourage students to work together, help each other, and succeed in their tasks. We are a student led classroom in which we learn, grow, and show our best as a team.
