Help me give my students an area for small group instruction with their favorite teacher.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are creative, thoughtful and have very curious minds! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and of course, challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day, ready to learn and try new things to help build their academic and personal knowledge about life.
My school is a newer Charter school where the teacher are having to help build up each part of the school, such as technology and the library.
The reason why I choose to work here is because of the close family feeling and wonderful opportunities I am experiencing
Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! My group of kiddos are wonderful and I am lucky and thankful to have the opportunity to be their second grade year!
My Project
The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction form either myself or other students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
