We have already gotten so much use out of these materials. My students LOVE the whiteboards, and honestly, anything that lets them write with a marker instead of a pencil instantly makes class more exciting. 😂 We've been using them for vocabulary, brainstorming, reading responses, small-group work, and quick checks for understanding throughout our ELA lessons.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite things has been seeing how much more willing students are to participate when they can write their answer on a whiteboard first. It takes away some of the pressure, lets them change their thinking easily, and gives everyone a chance to share—not just the students who are always the first to raise their hands.\r\n\r\nThese materials are going to be used all year long as we read, write, discuss, and work through our different units. I'm so thankful for everyone who helped make this project happen for my students. It may seem like something small, but having the right tools in the classroom really does make such a difference. Thank you for helping make learning a little more fun for my kids! 💜","fullyFundedDate":1781732128945,"projectUrl":"project/readers-writers-and-whiteboards/10325135/","projectTitle":"Readers, Writers, and Whiteboards!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Heffron","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10475724_orig.jpg?crop=838,838,x364,y108&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1775604153790","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsheffronela"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66780","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":872,"numTeachers":47,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":80,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":8,"gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":72.0,"schoolId":66780,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harper Creek Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harper Creek Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/harper-creek-community-school-district/harper-creek-middle-school/66780"}
