The moment the big packages of whiteboards arrived, my classroom was filled with genuine excitement and wonder. I surprised them and told them they were going to assemble them themselves. My period 6 assembled one, period 7 assembled the other. They took immense pride in assembling the whiteboards themselves. It not only gave them a sense of ownership but also taught them the valuable, hands-on skill of how to repair and build things. For my students, who are not necessarily the \"academic type\" and thrive on engaging, practical work, this was a perfect and empowering project. \r\n\r\nThese new whiteboards have been instrumental in our daily learning. As a teacher of two completely different subjects in one classroom, science and social studies, I started the year with only one small board. We were constantly erasing and splitting the space. Now, we have ample room to brainstorm historical timelines, map out scientific processes, and display essential vocabulary for both subjects simultaneously. Just the other day, we had science project data on one board while using another to graph the wealth divide of the US 13 colonies. This has transformed our classroom, allowing for more collaborative learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly made this hands-on, engaging work easier for me to provide. The next step for my students is a major science unit on the human body systems. We will be using the whiteboards to diagram the different organ systems and functions. In social studies, we are beginning a unit the America Revolution and the boards will be essential for groups to dissect the Declaration of Independence. Your support did more than just give us whiteboards; it built a foundation for creativity, collaboration, and pride in our classroom.
