Chart paper allows me to create engaging anchor charts that can be hung around my classroom for students to look back on for help! The use of individual whiteboards are in use in my classroom everyday, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. Having a class set will allow my students who are choosing to learn virtually from home to have one as well. Seat sacks are needed in my first grade classroom because we have tables. Due to COVID-19 students no longer are allowed to share materials. This means they need to be able to store all of their individual things since they do not have desks.
