The kids love my \"magic\" of switching the board to whatever content we are on. As a special education teacher, I pull multiple groups each day of each context and this board has allowed us to switch between contents but still leave up helpful information. We have limited wall space and this board acts as a third wall where was can create anchor charts and such.
