At times, school assignments can be dull for students, but the pop of color makes it more interesting and engaging for everyone. They love picking the color for their assignments and sometimes we even vote for the color of paper for the day. Finding extra little moments of joy make a big impact for our classroom motivation and community. \r\n\r\nThe whiteboard has been a game changer for whole group and small group instruction. We love that it has wheels and can be moved around the classroom depending on what we're doing.
