My Students

My second-grade students are eager to learn and like to ask lots of questions to gain more knowledge. They love to read and reach their goals.

My students are motivated and like to see others succeed.

We are a class family and always are encouraging others to do their best and work hard. Our classroom rules are: be safe, be kind, be helpful, and be respectful. Those are things we work really hard at achieving daily so that we can be the best student, friend, and classmate possible.

My Project

My students could benefit from a dry erase board table to use in small groups for remediation and enrichment activities. I often pull students to reteach and go over skills learned in class in a smaller group. The students would be able to use their dry erase markers on the table to work out problems, add to an existing problem or make notes as we go.

The students would love to write directly on the table and erase their work when complete.

This is a very practical and beneficial item for our classroom.
