The new whiteboards have become an essential part of our daily learning routine. My students use them every day to practice vocabulary, solve math problems in teams, and share their thinking in real time. One of our favorite moments was during a group grammar challenge—students raced to write sentences on their mini whiteboards, and the room was filled with laughter, creativity, and collaboration.\r\n\r\nWhen the boxes first arrived, the excitement was real—students couldn't wait to unwrap them and start using them. They immediately began drawing, writing, and competing to see who could solve problems the fastest. You could see the pride in their eyes as they held up their boards to share their work with the class. It's amazing how something as simple as a whiteboard can spark so much engagement and confidence.\r\n\r\nNow that we have these new tools, our next step is to expand on interactive lessons that emphasize student voice. We'll be using the whiteboards in small-group activities, peer tutoring, and quick assessments so that every student feels seen and heard during instruction.
