Building a Thinking Classroom
Funded Aug 9, 2022I want to thank you all so very much for your donations towards my rolling whiteboards. My students use them on pretty much a daily basis. They work in groups of 3 to problem solve and practice "math talk". They were so excited when they saw the boards! They ask me almost every day "Are we doing group work today?" When then answer is yes, I hear excited chatter. When the answer is no, they groan.
It is very difficult to keep 7th grade students motivated and excited about math in a 90 minute math block. To ask them to sit at their desks for that long without moving, is of course possible, but these boards allow them to stand up, move around and stay active. The participation and engagement throughout my lesson has changed drastically by using this approach.
Some more exciting news is that I had some higher ups from the district come in to observe how my students interacted and completed their math using this approach. They were so excited and impressed that they donated 4 more boards to my room!
Once again, I just wanted to thank you all so much for contributing to the success of my classes this year!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Rebstock
