I use donated whiteboard markers to make engaging weekly agendas on our whiteboards for students to follow, and we have also used them to assign classroom jobs! Each student has a role, and they alternated. This has helped a lot with classroom management and keeping them accountable! We use the plastic sleeves donated for group review; recently, we finished our \"Commonly Confused Words\" unit, where students learned the difference between Your/You're, There/Their/They're, etc.\r\n\r\nOther learning resources, such as clipboards, are used for around the room activities like scavenger hunts and independent working time if the student wants to sit on the rug by the teacher.

These tools have transformed our learning environment in unexpected and powerful ways.\r\n\r\nThe walkie talkies are helping our students learn by creating dynamic, real-world simulations of financial markets and economic scenarios. Students take on roles as buyers, sellers, traders, and market analysts, communicating in real-time across different areas of our classroom and school. This hands-on approach makes abstract economic concepts tangible - from supply and demand to market competition and price discovery.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is how the walkie talkies turn traditional lessons into immersive experiences. When studying stock markets, students become floor traders, calling out orders and responding to changing market conditions. During personal finance units, they simulate customer service scenarios and financial consulting calls, practicing professional communication while learning essential life skills.\r\n\r\nThe technology has particularly resonated with our kinesthetic learners and students who thrive in collaborative environments. Students who were previously hesitant to participate in traditional classroom discussions now eagerly engage when they can move around and communicate through the walkie talkies. Our more reserved students have found their voice through this medium, gaining confidence in expressing their ideas and participating in economic discussions.\r\n\r\nYour investment in these tools has helped create an engaging, active learning environment where economic and financial concepts come alive.

Once students begin reading this classic and begin feeling comfortable enough to read a part aloud in front of their peers, they really begin to love reading the play.
