We use them throughout our lessons to practice high-frequency words, spelling words, sentence writing, and grammar skills. During quick quizzes and review games, students can write their answers on their boards and hold them up for me to see. This allows me to quickly check every student's understanding at the same time and immediately reteach or clarify a skill when needed.\r\n\r\nWhat excites the students most is that the boards make ordinary practice feel more like a game. They love writing their answer, revealing it to the class, and then quickly erasing the board to get ready for the next question. Even practicing spelling words or writing sentences feels more exciting when they get to use the boards.\r\n\r\nI have especially noticed the impact on students who are sometimes hesitant to participate or raise their hands. The LCD boards give them a comfortable way to show what they know without having to answer aloud in front of the entire class. Students who may normally sit back during a lesson are eager to write their answers and hold up their boards. It has been wonderful to see these students become more confident and involved.\r\n\r\nThese boards may seem like a simple piece of technology, but in our classroom they have created more opportunities for practice, participation, immediate feedback, and fun—all while helping me make sure that every student has a voice in our ELA lessons.","fullyFundedDate":1778071211785,"projectUrl":"project/erase-barriers-write-brighter-futures/9985632/","projectTitle":"Erase Barriers, Write Brighter Futures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. DiMichele","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp235771_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1453229191576","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-dimichele"},{"teacherId":1946655,"projectId":10287614,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our project, \"Help Keep Our Classroom Healthy, Clean, and Ready to Learn!\" These supplies may seem like small things, but they have already made such a big and positive difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nThe paper towels and tissues have been lifesavers! Having these supplies readily available means I no longer have to send students out of the classroom to search for tissues or paper towels when they need them. This helps us stay in the classroom and focused on learning.\r\n\r\nThe Band-Aids are always a magical cure for students who aren't feeling their best! I love being able to have them readily available for my students, especially since we do not always have a school nurse in the building.\r\n\r\nThe cough drops have also been incredibly helpful during back-to-school germ season, along with the hand sanitizer to help keep little hands clean and healthy.

Students use computer-based programs that provide individualized practice and intervention based on their specific learning needs. The headphones allow students to listen carefully to directions, stories, passages, and instructional activities without distractions from other students. They also help students stay focused and engaged while working independently.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is having their very own comfortable headphones to use! Before this project, sharing headphones or not having enough for everyone could sometimes make technology time challenging.

What was once simply a time to take a break has become an opportunity for my students to practice cooperation, communication, problem-solving, and kindness.\r\n\r\nThe additional card games will allow more students to participate at the same time, so fewer students have to wait for a turn. The storage pouches will also help us keep everything organized and teach students to take responsibility for caring for our shared classroom materials.\r\n\r\nThe crayons are another wonderful addition.
