My Project

Students in my language class are working with whiteboards every day for instant feedback. The chair sacks would be an enormous help inside my very small, packed classroom to help with transitioning between activities. Inside each sack, they would keep a whiteboard, eraser and marker. Every one of my students also receives a folder to hold their class items, resources and materials. Paper folders are not adequate to last the year, and often tear. We do not have a revolving budget so I cannot get replacement folders during the year. Have plastic folders would last longer and be more financially efficient.
