With these learning snacks, students have another chance to eat after lunch, when often times they want seconds, but can't have more than the portions given at school.

One of my favorite moments was during a reading lesson when students came up to annotate a text and explain their thinking to the class. It gave them confidence and allowed their voices to be seen and heard. The flexibility of moving the board around the room has made it easier for all students to participate, especially during group work and discussions.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we will continue using the whiteboard to support writing, problem-solving, and collaborative learning.
