There aren't many fidgets options currently designated for my classroom and whiteboards will help instruction time be more interactive and fun. The humidifier/oils is for calming. Sometimes the kids come in from recess or lunch very excited. Having essential oils fuming in the other classes has seemed to help calm the students and refocused them for the lessons ahead. The items for this project will help assure the students that this is THEIR classroom.
The students really enjoy writing on the whiteboard to show their work. This causes lots of wear and tear on the current markers and erasers. Allowing students to have their own personal whiteboards and erasers will only increase the participation and enthusiasm the children possess for being "little teachers" to myself and their peers. I encourage showing work in math, but in all honesty, sometimes pencil and paper is just "so boring"; WHITE BOARDS ARE MORE FUN!
