Whether they're jotting down observations during a science walk, sketching in the school garden, or taking notes during a read-aloud on the rug, their clipboards give them the freedom to learn anywhere.\r\n\r\nIt's amazing to see how something as simple as a clipboard can spark independence and engagement. Students feel like real scientists, authors, and researchers. They're asking more questions, sharing ideas, and proudly showing their work to classmates.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has given my students the tools to be hands-on, curious learners every single day.
