We use them daily for flexible learning—whether students are working in small groups, moving to different learning stations, or heading outside for nature-based observation activities. One of the most memorable moments was during a recent science project where students conducted a mini \"ecosystem walk\" around our schoolyard. Each student carried their clipboard to take notes, draw sketches, and record their observations. It was incredible to see how focused and engaged they were while using the materials in a real-world context.\r\nThey were so excited! You would've thought it was a brand-new tech gadget. Some students even picked out their favorite clipboard and gave it a nickname. They were thrilled to have something that made them feel more independent and responsible. A few even said, \"Now I feel like a real scientist!\" It was such a small addition, but it made a huge impact on their sense of ownership and confidence in their work.\r\nThe clipboards are being used as they interview classmates, make sketches, and jot down ideas for their map designs. In the coming weeks, they'll use all this information to do many fun assignments.
