EASE-EL Into Learning!

Funded Dec 28, 2019

Thank you so much for funding our "Easel" into Learning Project. We were so excited to receive our easel and immediately put it to good use. Our magnetic fraction strips were the first things we used on the board. This enhanced lessons because not only did it provide a visual to the lesson, it was also tactile in nature. Students quickly were able to understand different concepts involving fractions such as identifying equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and adding and subtracting fractions.

When our easel first arrived, not only was I super-excited, so were the students. Because of the size of the board, we can all gather in the meeting area, and all the students see what is being written or demonstrated. The students also love to peer tutor one another using the easel.

This easel will continue to be an integral part of my teaching, as well as the students' learning for years to come. Once again, thank you for your generosity.”

With gratitude,
