Kids on Board Will Not Be Bored!

Help me give my students a hands-on, tactile experience with very basic writing and drawing supplies. They can hone their fine motor skills and SHOW their learning while having fun doing so!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

The kiddos are diligent workers despite any adversity that they may face in their personal lives. I would like to support them by keeping the excitement in the realm of education and learning! This is my first year teaching at this elementary school where the children come from underprivileged families and where COVID-19 has limited their tactile manipulatives and communicative pairing activities for this year. I am optimistic about keeping learning fun and engaging despite the present circumstances!

My Project

These chalkboards will make a tremendous difference this year in checking for quick learning in the classroom. The teacher can see which students are on task by having the student write a quick response, having the student hold up the board and the teacher modify instruction accordingly. In taking precautions with social distancing, each child will have their own board for which they are responsible. No need to share markers to write on the dry erase board up front! Also, this may be an augmented assist with classroom management and students feeling like they are not being heard through their masks this year. This eliminates the frustration of having to over articulate, repeat incessantly, have students YELL over the restrictive fabric, etc. We can literally SEE and SHARE learning taking place inside the classroom!
