Ms. Papadopoulos from Long Island City NY is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
Help me give my students dry erase clipboards and an easel to work on their math, reading and writing skills. Our students can use them to work at different areas of the room in a more flexible way.

We are a 2nd grade special education classroom and we are full of love and charismatic personalities! My students laugh, play, care and give to one another with every moment that they can. They enjoy coming to school and are very enthusiastic to learn and make themselves better people each day. However, my students face many adverse circumstances every day. Most of my students live in shelters, city housing developments, and foster care. While living in these types of urban communities, most of my children come to school hungry, without proper sized clothing or school supplies. Most of our scholars read, write and compute at a kindergarten level.
My students are still resilient to the adversity that they face every second of their lives.
They come to school with loving arms, and willing to learn something new each day. With all that happens to them emotionally, physically, and socially, my students still want to come to school and make new friends, run around the playground, and be happy and loving.
My students value community, and understand the meaning of working together. They know that working as a team, makes dreams happen and can get you further ahead in life.
Our students will be able to use the clipboards/whiteboards anywhere around the room for a more flexible seating option. We want our students to gain control of how and where they learn, and so providing these clipboards/whiteboards to our students, they will be able to learn more effectively.
The clipboards double as a whiteboard, and it will benefit our scholars when using these materials to make quick draws or written responses.
Our students will benefit from flexible seating options while using the clipboards/whiteboards, and we want to provide our students a safe place where they feel nurtured and successful. Our students are always needing to move around because of their special needs and it is important for them to find a safe space in the room to work on their reading, writing, and math skills.
