Class Upgrade

Funded Sep 23, 2024

On behalf of my students and myself, I want to express our sincere gratitude for your generous support through DonorsChoose! Thanks to your kindness, we were able to acquire a new whiteboard for our classroom, and the impact has been truly remarkable.

The whiteboard has become an indispensable tool in our exploration of history.

Gallery Walks: We've used it to display images of historical art and images during engaging gallery walks. Students analyze the artwork, discuss its historical context, and present their findings to the class, fostering critical thinking and communication skills.

Writing Instructions: The whiteboard provides a clear and concise space for displaying writing prompts and step-by-step instructions for various writing assignments. This ensures all students understand the expectations and empowers them to produce high-quality work.

Visual Learning: I utilize the whiteboard to draw maps, timelines, and diagrams to illustrate historical concepts and events. This visual representation helps students grasp complex information more effectively and makes learning more engaging.

For example, during our current study of the civil war and reconstruction, we are using the whiteboard to create a timeline of key events, map the major battles, and even have students "teach" the class about their assigned historical figures by presenting their information directly on the board.

Your generosity has not only provided us with a fantastic resource, but it has also shown my students that their education is valued by caring individuals like you. Thank you for believing in their potential and making a difference in their learning journey.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Peraza
