The easels, inspired by the \"Building Thinking Classrooms\" strategies, have empowered my students to engage in group activities, share ideas, and collaborate effectively. This has significantly enhanced their critical thinking skills and creativity. Additionally, the dry-erase pockets allow hands-on activities where students can practice skills and receive immediate feedback, reinforcing their understanding.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the easels and dry-erase pockets, they were excited. They began brainstorming ways to use them, showcasing their enthusiasm and motivation to learn. I was excited to witness their eagerness to collaborate and engage with each other using these new resources.\r\n\r\nMy goal is to create a classroom of thinkers where students take ownership of their learning and engage deeply with the material. As we move forward, we will continue to integrate these resources into our daily activities, fostering a student-centered environment that supports diverse learning styles.
