We have been so excited to use our new materials!\r\n\r\nMy students have been using 20 year old whiteboards that are broken and no longer erase, so when I pulled out the brand new whiteboards, they were amazed! They love writing math problems on them as well as writing their letters. They have taken such great care of them and we feel so lucky to have brand new boards!\r\n\r\nAdditionally, my students have loved writing on the LED boards. This is a fun, engaging, and quick way to practice their handwriting. The students love to use them, and I love the quick and easy nature of pulling them out without needing a lot of other materials. \r\n\r\nThe art trays and reusable pockets have allowed me to stay organized when preparing activities as well as making activities more than just single use. \r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for these materials and have seen such an impact in our class already.
