Vertical Learning Surfaces

Help me give my students vertical non-permanent writing and drawing surfaces for learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Altringer's classroom raised $744

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need to be able to work in small groups and share their ideas. Having non-permanent surface allows students to share and discuss ideas that they have. By having some easels it allows me to create flexible learning spaces away from my walls. This also allows me to have some boards that could be brought outside with us too. My students love being in smaller groups where they have more say and accountability to the work that gets done.

Vertical non-permanent surfaces allow students to develop their ideas to natural phenomena that they observe in science class.
