The new marker boards, markers, and erasers have quickly become one of our favorite learning tools. The boards fit perfectly inside each student's desk, making them easy to grab during lessons. We use them daily during literacy and math to practice spelling patterns, sight words, math facts, and problem-solving. The students love holding up their boards to show their answers—our room lights up with proud smiles every time!\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their faces were priceless. They were so eager to use their very own boards and couldn't wait to write their first answers. One student said, \"This makes learning so much more fun!\" It's amazing to see how a simple resource can boost their confidence and participation.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our literacy and math lessons, the marker boards are helping students strengthen foundational skills in a hands-on, interactive way. They're also building teamwork and communication skills as we use them for partner and small-group activities. Your contribution has truly made a difference in making learning active, engaging, and joyful.

The marker boards and markers are a game changer. It makes phonics more hands on and it seems to really be helping the students to internalize the information. Now rather than watching me and discussing, which was purely a visual and auditory exercise, we can actually kinesthetically learn by applying the knowledge and trying their hand at the new skill them selves during the lesson rather than trying once the are independently working!
