Having a large magnetic dry erase board will make a big difference in how I am able to teach my students. I will be able to scaffold up or scaffold my teaching methods down to meet the individual needs of all my students across the wide range of ability levels. I will also be able to conserve paper by having the students write their letter and number of the week on the board. I will be able to differentiate my teaching methods easily with the use of the same magnetic dry erase board. I will be able to display my students work with the use of magnets. Displaying my students work will increase my students confidence in their work. With a stronger confidence of their abilities, my students will be able to grow more and expand their knowledge.
