My students are thriving, and are loving all of the new materials. Each student now has access to their own pair of scissors, glue, pencils, and much more.\r\n\r\n Students are especially loving their whiteboards, markers, and pens! We use them each day for our morning warm up, as well as during phonemic awareness instruction and math small group instruction. Each student gets their own personal whiteboard and have loved getting to keep them in their desks. \r\n\r\n Our rotating whiteboard has made such an impact in our daily phonics lessons. We are able to use it as a whiteboard or a chart paper stand, and it is so easy to roll around the classroom. Having this tool has made instruction more clear and more effective!
