My Project

Individual lap boards can help elementary school students in a variety of ways, including student engagement, increased participation, individualized learning, and reduced paper waste. Lap boards can help keep students engaged and focused on lessons. Lap boards can help every student participate in class activities and lap boards can be used as individualized learning tools.

Last, lap boards can help students practice and participate paper-free which reduces our carbon footprint and reduces waste.

Our goal is to provide lap boards for all kindergarten and first-grade classes in order for the students to use during their daily foundational skills and phonics lessons.
