The whiteboard allows them to try the different factor pairs without worrying about mistakes since they are able to erase and try again. \r\n\r\nThe vertical whiteboards have allowed students to work through problems and not be so afraid of making mistakes.

For many of them, the classroom has become a peaceful and welcoming space where they can focus on their learning without the usual distractions and stresses of a busy school day.\r\nSoft lighting, warm colors, and nature-inspired décor have helped create a sense of comfort that contrasts with the often harsh fluorescent lighting and blank walls of a typical high school classroom. \r\nThe wax warmer has also made an unexpectedly big difference in the classroom atmosphere.
