Help Mr. Odom

Science, oh science! How inviting it can be for my fantastic third graders! In my classroom, science isn't done the textbook way. My young Edisons DO science. We research, predict, experiment, analyze, and summarize. Our minds never get any down time during science! However, when it comes to explaining the content to be studied, chalkboards just aren't the way. The erased chalk makes the board look congested and often the content gets swallowed in a dust storm. My solution (which is where you are needed) is to have two markerboards that I can use vibrant dry erase markers on. This way I can use the stimulation of colors to attract the brains of my students, thus immerse their minds into the material at hand. With the cleaning ease that markerboards provide, clarity won't be an issue. My students will accurately be able to visualize the information presented. So I ask of you - please help science in my classroom be visually vibrant!
