My Project

My ELL students K-5 would greatly benefit from movement furniture, basic whiteboard markers, and erasable boards. They come into my class ready to go, but with leftover energy that needs to be expended in order to focus on work.

First, the wobble chairs are the ideal type of movement furniture because they are portable, light, and offer easy and safe movement.

They are a good way for students to get out pent up energy while working on reading, writing, speaking and listening!

Second, the erasable boards and whiteboard markers are the basic tools that are always in short supply when teaching literacy. The pens are always running out of ink and this set allows students to color code their letter blends or sentence parts. The erasable boards are perfect for my Kindergarten and First Graders who need the all in one ease of writing and erasing in one easy move.
