My Project

Having these items will help us be able to divide up our classroom so that we can target specific students needs in a small group learning environment. We have 5 adults in the room which makes small groups very possible. But with limited space the portable boards will help us to be able to make any area of the classroom a learning environment. With the testing dividers, we can ensure students gain their right to privacy and minimal distractions during testing time. We notice student work better when put into a more individualized setting.
