The whiteboards have made learning more interactive and collaborative — and mistakes feel a lot less scary when they can just erase and try again!\r\n\r\nNext, we're starting a \"Culture & Community\" project, where students will write and illustrate stories about their family traditions. They'll draft ideas on the whiteboards, then turn them into published work inspired by the diverse books we've been reading.
