Write, Show, and Grow: Whiteboard Paddles for Little Learners!

Help me give my students durable whiteboards that will last for more than one school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rookstool's classroom raised $350

This project is fully funded

My Project

My kindergarteners are bright, eager, and ready to learn! Every day in our classroom is full of movement, questions, and growing confidence as they learn to read, write, count, and express themselves. Many of my students are still developing fine motor skills and benefit from activities that are hands-on and interactive.

I am requesting a class set of durable whiteboard paddles for my students to use during our daily lessons.

These paddles are the perfect size for small hands and will allow my kindergartners to write, draw, and show their thinking in real time—whether we're working on letters, numbers, sight words, or problem-solving.

With these whiteboard paddles, students will be able to:

Participate actively in lessons by writing answers and holding them up

Practice handwriting and drawing without wasting paper

Build confidence in sharing their ideas in a safe, low-pressure way

Get immediate feedback during lessons

These paddles are also easy to clean, reusable, and durable—which is important in a busy kindergarten classroom where materials need to stand up to daily use!

The Impact

Whiteboard paddles turn every lesson into an interactive opportunity. Instead of waiting to be called on, every child gets to participate, think, and respond. This keeps engagement high and helps me quickly see who understands the lesson and who needs more support.

Your support will help my kindergartners build foundational skills in reading, math, and writing—while also making learning fun, active, and meaningful.

Thank you for helping us grow, learn, and show what we know!
