The Write Tools

Help me give my students the chance to improve their writing skills with the whiteboards that have lines. My students with disabilities are writing below grade level. This is a fun way to help them enjoy writing.

My Project

I love to encourage my students to explore their creativity. The materials that I requested such as whiteboards and play-doh, will help them do that. Many of them struggle to regulate their emotions, so using art to express what they are feeling is great! My students are also struggling with their written expression. Items such as the whiteboards will help them improve their writing skills. They find joy in exploring with whiteboards and being able to use them to respond during whole-group lessons. They provide a great way for all of them to engage in learning, no matter what their academic or grade level ability is.
