Help me give my students each a small whiteboard so they may learn through virtual learning. I will also need one larger whiteboard for myself to instruct my ESOL students from home.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach first grade ESOL students who all nonnative English learners. It can sometimes be overwhelming and challenging to be educate students in an unfamiliar language and culture. It is especially difficult because I do not speak their native tongue. The students are very eager learners, and they want to learn how to speak English as soon as possible. They are hardworking and diligent, and I want to provide the best level of education to them.
The students are visual learners, so the best way to teach them English is by enhancing visual learning.
Due to remote learning, I need small whiteboards and expo markers for each student and a large whiteboard with markers for myself. This way, I can demonstrate and instruct them with visual cues. It has become even more strenuous to provide nonverbal representation online, but as educators, we must do our best to help students grow and thrive.
My Project
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools are remote this year. Virtual learning is especially challenging for younger children. My first grade ESOL class already faces many obstacles learning a new language. They need to practice reading and writing letters of the alphabet, high frequency words, and short sentences. The students will use these whiteboards at home during our online classroom sessions to keep them engaged during various activities. The whiteboards will allow the kids to learn visually, and practice as we go along. I will also need a large whiteboard to draw pictures that correlate with the lessons, note the classroom daily objectives, and have students easily follow assignments.
