My Project

One thing I try to emphasize from day one in my 5th grade classroom with my students is working collaboratively. To help with that small group work, sharing out Ideas, and building student discourse, these materials will be used daily. For example, chart paper is used for things like class posters, to share individual thinking, create story maps, identify students' "I notices... and I wonders...", sharing group ideas, and so on. The whiteboards allow are used daily as well, especially in math class. Students use the Try, Discuss, Connect method in math and whiteboards allow a student to share and compare strategies with their peers.

As a teacher, using whiteboards also provide me with immediate feedback on if a child is understanding a concept or not.

They are overall a great tool and are used consistently. For example, on Try It Tuesdays, students use their whiteboards during our morning meeting to solve math puzzles.

Having not so much money in the school budget doesn't help that dry erase markers and erasers are also needed. Having these materials donated would help all fifty fifth graders at our K-5 public school in Rhode Island immensely. If you choose to donate to us, I promise you that these materials will be used to create communication skills and higher level thinking. All students will benefit from them. Thank you!
