This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach the sweetest second graders imaginable, at a Title I school. About 80% of our student body receives free or reduced lunch. Many of my students face challenges that I cannot even imagine. Some of them even more frequently and/or temporarily homeless. Despite these difficulties, my students have an insatiable love of learning, especially when instruction can be provided in an engaging, hands-on manner. We are incredibly thankful for your interest in our classroom and appreciate all donations. Thank you!
My Project
We use whiteboards almost daily in my classroom because it is an easy way for me to see exactly what my students are doing, as well as a fun way for them to show and share their work. These boards are used, especially in math, to allow students an alternative to pencil and paper when working through guided practice and practicing modeled strategies.
My students also enjoy playing games to practice anything from math facts to parts of speech.
Having personal whiteboards allows these types of games to be played in the spur of the moment, with little to no prep, and no bulky storage boxes full of cards and pieces! We can pull out our boards and "play a game" in those inevitable few minutes that always appear right before a pull-out or other event, and maximize our learning time!
