My Students

How many of you remember having to sit at your seat and work all day long at school when all you really wanted to do was stand up and stretch your legs? Kids go from running around outside and playing to sitting at a desk for up to six hours a day when they enter school.

In a public school setting, my students are a welcome mix of abilities, backgrounds, and family support at home.

With a 90% minority population and 40% speaking a second language at home, some of my students are still adapting their dialect to public speaking. They are eager students, always ready to present, and are willing to break out with given time. Flexible grouping allows them to communicate through different learning styles and personalities. With a positive effect, my students are engaged and enjoy working with one another.

My Project

We are requesting a set of Kleenslate Deluxe Dry Erase Response Paddles to further help give an equal voice to my students during classroom discussions. The interchangeable nature of these response paddles assist in giving my students guidance no matter the subject area.

In a classroom of many students you just want your voice to be heard.

Whether it's graph paper, lined paper, or a specific type of graphic organizer, the students have the tool that they need at hand without having to waste paper and make copies. It also allows them to practice over and over again. They will be able to use these response paddles in multiple ways to illicite responses to contribute to classroom discussions. The design of the paddles also helps to ensure they don't lose their marker or eraser. Because of the bright, fun nature of these paddles, my students will gain the confidence to show their answers more in class.
