Students use them to practice science vocabulary, work with partners, and share their thinking through \"notice and wonder\" activities. Instead of calling out answers, they write on their boards, which helps everyone stay focused and involved. We also use them for quick checks for understanding and whole-class activities. A big part of our lessons is connecting science concepts to real-life examples. We often do this through gamified activities where students use their whiteboards, markers, and erasers to show their thinking in fun and active ways. For brain breaks, students enjoy silent partner games where they take turns drawing shapes without talking. We also use them for games like trivia triangles, which makes learning exciting.\r\n\r\nWhen my students first saw the new materials, they were so happy. They were excited to throw away the old whiteboards and use the clean, new ones. Having enough markers and erasers for everyone made a big difference. Now, every student can take part without waiting or sharing. One of our favorite moments was during a lesson on physical and chemical properties of matter. I showed real-life examples, and students wrote their answers on their boards. Even shy students joined in with confidence. These tools have helped me be more flexible in my teaching and have made our classroom more active, fun, and full of learning. We are very thankful to you for helping our classroom become more engaged and for supporting our students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1760798445250,"projectUrl":"project/write-wipe-and-wonder-boosting-classr/9811929/","projectTitle":"Write, Wipe, and Wonder: Boosting Classroom Engagement!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sible","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9110246_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691120333503","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/rsible"},{"teacherId":8837834,"projectId":9981380,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for all the support for our 8th graders.
