The use of a whiteboard is very good for their engagement in the activities we have both in math and science.\r\nFor the headphones, we have computer apps to help them to learn math, science, and English. It is very good to have these supplies to help them to understand better the activities.\r\nThe printer is used to print materials and anchor charts for them to look at during the class, with step-by-step sequences for activities, especially in math. In Science, the colorful anchor charts help them visualize the procedures and examples we use in science.\r\nThank you so much for your help.
