My Project

Research has shown that when children work in small groups, they are able to collaborate with their peers effectively and can help reinforce the lesson. At our school students are broken into three different learning small groups based on their skills and rotate into different learning stations to complete their tasks.

The items that I am requesting will be used within small groups to help facilitate learning and make transitions more organized and easier.

The expo markers will be used to write on dry erase pockets so that students can practice their skills within the stations. The bins will be used to organize tablets and headphones used at the stations and the id tag and lanyards will help students know where to transition at in the classroom and what station they need to go to next. Thanks for your help and keep SOARing to greater heights!
