Unlike the traditional dry-erase boards, which can be messy and require constant replacement of markers. The Boogie Boards offer a clean, sustainable, and cost-effective solution. Students use them daily for practicing vocabulary, handwriting, and as \"scratch paper\" for math, allowing for quick erasing and immediate feedback. This technology is not only intuitive and fun for students of all ages, but it also saves paper and stands up to the wear and tear of daily classroom use, making it both an environmentally and financially smart choice. \r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about the Boogie Boards is the freedom and ease they provide. The instant erase button means students can correct mistakes without any mess or frustration, which is especially motivating for those who may be hesitant writers or perfectionists. The boards are lightweight, easy to hold, and feel similar to using a pencil, making them accessible for my learners. Many students see using the Boogie Boards as a special treat, and their enthusiasm translates into greater participation and willingness to practice skills they might otherwise avoid.\r\n\r\nOne student, in particular, who struggled with handwriting, has shown tremendous improvement since we introduced the Boogie Boards. Previously, his writing was nearly illegible, and he was frustrated by the constraints of lined paper and erasers. With the Boogie Board, he found the stylus comfortable and the process of erasing mistakes effortless. Over the past few days, his handwriting has become neat and legible, and his confidence has soared. The flexibility and immediate feedback provided by this technology have not only improved his skills but also boosted his self-esteem, demonstrating the profound impact a simple, well-designed tool can have on a child's learning journey","fullyFundedDate":1743198376839,"projectUrl":"project/write-erase-create-empowering-young/8994045/","projectTitle":"\"Write, Erase, Create: Empowering Young Minds With Boogie Boards\"","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Spence","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5555485_orig.jpg?crop=1080,1080,x0,y50&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732132953831","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5555485"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3607","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":450,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":81,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":45.9,"schoolId":3607,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Washington County Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Washington County Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/washington-county-school-district/pines-elementary-school/3607"}
