The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math and reading. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is a fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, I have to leave the rug quietly to go get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil, and paper which creates losing time and distraction. Even though students are great about doing the waiting, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from either myself or other students. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not.
