They even wanted to help me put it together just so they could use it immediately. Once completed, students enter the classroom excited to complete math problems. They especially like how it's double sided and can have their own space when needed.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the students enjoy having their own white board eraser for when they're working on the large board or when using a small one. \r\n\r\nHaving these supplies and the others have made my transition more smooth.
