Elementary students learn best when teachers use the "I Do, We Do, You Do" gradual release teaching method. This method has been a little difficult during the pandemic season we find ourselves in. Students need their own hands-on manipulatives to cut down on sanitizing between students and the spreading of germs. Our students have their own magnetic letters, but nothing for each student to put their letters on to manipulate. With the purchase of individual magnetic dry erase boards, first grade students will be able to have their own set of letters neatly arranged on magnetic boards. Teachers can model how to make words by pulling down the letters that represent each sound, while students do the same on their own boards. Students can then practice independently while still using their own materials. This will minimize the opportunities for germs to spread while cutting down on sanitizing time for teachers, who can then use those precious minutes on instruction. Because the boards are dry erase, as well as magnetic, students will also be able to write their words after building them. Storage will be easy; retrieving the trays with the magnetic letters still in order on the tray will be an amazing time saver in passing out materials and reorganizing the letters each time they are used.
