My Project

My Kindergarten students are eager, excited, young learners. My students are at school every day trying their best to be better than the day before. The kids are learning how to write words, using upper and lowercase letters, properly on the lines.

This is why we need a classroom set of Lakeshore Magic Boards.

We are currently on our “What Plants and Animals Need” Unit. With the help of a classroom set of Lakeshore Magic Boards, each student will have the capability of writing key words like: roots, stems, plants, animals, food, space, and shelter. With the Magic Boards, the kids just use a lever to clear poorly written words, and rewrite words that are either misspelled or not written properly on the top line and end line. This is better than using the rubber eraser that takes time and makes a mess. If we can get the Magic Boards, it will be a huge benefit for this Unit and for further activities throughout the school year.
