Students will use the materials to work in and out of the classroom. The clipboards become a portable desk. We use dry erase markers everyday learning to form and write basic letters/words on our white boards. The reusable pockets are great for practicing math fact fluency! And the book bags give students ownership of the books they are reading during guided reading as well as reading independently. Being “portable”allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board.
