Easely Accessible

My students need an easel in the classroom that is easily accessible. We currently do not have an easel that serves as a magnetic whiteboard as well. Thank you!

My Students

Our school is a small school nestled along the coast of Maine. We are a close knit school with a high free and reduced lunch population. Year to year our budgets remain the same, but the needs and costs of materials are rising. Our students and teachers deserve to have the materials that they all need to ensure that the learning that is happening is beneficial for both the students as well as the teachers.

My students are very hands on and they thrive from being interactive learners.

The more hands on materials that we have the better! I am hoping to add these materials to my classroom as each new year begins. The looks on the students faces as new materials are introduced are priceless.

I always look forward to being able to add that next beneficial tool to the classroom that might help a student learn in a way that wasn't possible before. Their smiles and gains make it all worth it.

My Project

We are currently using an easel that is only paper friendly. This easel is not on wheels and it is very hard to transport from classroom to classroom. I would love to have a magnetic whiteboard easel to teach from and for my students to interact with while they are learning whole group or at stations. This would be a great addition to our classroom.

I can envision my students using this easel in a multitude of ways.

Whether it be creating poems with magnetic words or rainbow recording their sight word with magnetic letters. Utilizing the whiteboard for interactive reading/writing lessons will also be greatly beneficial.
