My students need individual whiteboards to use during whole group instruction. They will use these whiteboards to practice math facts, share ideas, and visualize new information.
I am a primary level teacher in a public school that primarily serves children from low-income backgrounds. This school serves students from kindergarten to eighth grade and provides breakfast, snack, and lunch at no cost. The school also partners with The Boys and Girls Club to ensure that the students have someplace to go after the school day ends. My students receive these services but also have their own individual needs and abilities. In my classroom, students aged 6-8 learn alongside each other in areas of phonics, reading, writing, math, and social-emotional learning. There is a great sense of community, support, and enthusiasm among my kiddos!
My Project
My students need individual whiteboards to make their learning engaging, interactive, and their own! Whiteboards are a cost-effective and environmentally alternative to using pen-and-paper all day long. Plus, they are intrinsically exciting for students! My students will use these individual whiteboards during whole group and small group instruction to help them take ownership of their learning. They will participate in educational games, holding up the answers on their whiteboards to play. They will use the whiteboards to practice their math facts, write equations, practice spelling and handwriting, and generally visualize and synthesize new information and content. The purchase of sheet protectors also works as a dry-erase activity for pre-printed worksheets, such as spelling practice. The purchase of an easel pad of chart paper allows my students to have visual representations of their learning, as in anchor charts, graphs, and other displays. Finally as a treat to my students who adore storytime, I have included the box set of Mercy Watson books, which are full of rich characters, strong writing, and are great for read-alouds!
