Although whiteboards were not available at the time of fulfillment, DonorsChoose allowed me to choose alternative items that would still support student engagement and classroom needs.

Students now come to group tasks prepared and excited to participate.\r\n\r\nIn addition to learning materials, some items were replaced with much-needed cleaning supplies, including disinfecting wipes and electronic cleaning wipes. These have allowed us to maintain a clean and safe learning space by regularly wiping down our tables, chairs, smart TV, and Chromebooks.
