My Students

Did you dislike going to the board in class? Did you feel the same students were picked to answer the questions?

We are a large PreK-6th grade school.

We have about 1,200 students in our school. We are located in a inner city in PA. We have have dedicated teachers and are students are out of this world. We, just like many other school districts, are facing devastating budget cuts.

My Project

I enjoy doing very active learning lessons in my classroom. I have many students who are shy and not willing to go the the board to answer questions. If I could have personal white boards and white board markers for each of my students I could quickly assess who is struggling and who learned the concept that was taught. These could be used in all subjects in my classroom.

Please help my students the the proper tools they need to have a successful year.

They deserve to have a great education and tools like these will help this. Please let them have the opportunity to show me what they know or do not know without being embarrassed to stand in the front of the room.
