Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and helping to fund our project to bring new materials to our classroom.

We were also able to get presharpened pencils and a book binding machine. \r\n\r\nThese materials will be game-changers for our daily routines. We plan to begin use of the vertical whiteboards during our math rotations, and then incorporate them into collaborative reading and writing activities. My students are excited to use our vertical whiteboards, but we needed these items to help organize our tools. Research shows that standing and working on vertical surfaces encourages risk-taking and deeper collaboration. With these supplies, students can jump right into problem solving without delay.\r\n\r\nMy students will have the tools they need to share their ideas and strategies, feel empowered, and take ownership of their learning.
