An all purpose teaching easel would be very beneficial for my students and me. The easel that we have now is broken and extremely difficult to move. Missing screws, loose wooden pieces, and wobbly legs make it a little dangerous. I kindly ask students not to go near the easel and very rarely call helpers to it to show work or solve problems. The easel we use now holds chart paper. The easel that I am asking for funding for is dry erase. It would save lots of paper. It's also magnetic. It has a tray for storage for markers and magnetic manipulatives. The best part is, it is on four wheels for rolling! Students would have flexibility to be able to roll the easel around the room in order to use the anchor charts that we've brainstormed together and refer to them while working at different learning stations throughout the day. This mobile easel would also be the perfect addition to our Guided Math Workshop! I'd be able to roll the easel over to my teacher table and use it to model and record math strategies. Students would then be able to leave my teacher table with it and continue their math work independently or with a partner while sometimes having what they just learned at the teacher table directly in front of them. During my teacher prep period, I'd be able to roll the easel to the teacher's room in order to prepare lessons and charts ahead of time. Our specialist teachers use our classrooms during our prep periods. Thank you for your consideration.
