Having a good quality easel in the classroom is such a staple for good teaching. This easel will be the center of many lessons for all subjects! I recently learned about Number Talks (math that truly makes them think critically, independently, and sharpens their vocabulary and ways they explain their thinking). Doing number talks on an easel is probably the number one thing I'm most excited about because hearing these kids grow their brain is electric and should be encouraged! This easel being double sided also opens the door for multiple students to be able to work on the same problem at the same time! The buckets allow for storage of classroom read aloud books, markers, manipulatives, etc! This will only be my second year of teaching so the quality of this particular easel will stand the test of time and will be alongside me for the next twenty+ years!
