Students used these supplies to create crafts and write on their lap whiteboards. They were very excited to use the dry erase markers and wanted to work with the whiteboards throughout the entire day. Learning with whiteboards truly motivated them, and they were highly engaged in hands-on activities.\r\n\r\nIn addition, students used the glue sticks to make Christmas paper chains to decorate the classroom. Students were divided into groups to make the paper chains, and each group created one. At the end of the project, all of the paper chains were connected and hung around the classroom.\r\n\r\nThese supplies helped my students become more hands-on, enjoy learning, and have fun during the holiday season.
