Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 24

Receiving this grant for a class set of dry erase boards, has been exceptionally helpful in all subjects. I have seen my students become more confident as mathematicians and writers.  They are more inclined to take risks and share their thinking because they like using the dry erase boards and they can easily erase their work, if they make a mistake.  They have also been useful for my students to be able to sort and write words, when they are working on phonics skill sets.  Encouraging my students to use the dry erase boards has helped them to build strong phonics skills and they have allowed them to be able to apply sounds to words during dictation and easily manipulate words and sounds to form new ones.  My students love using their dry erase boards and they love "shining and sharing" their thinking with their classmates.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My goal is to empower all of my students with a safe space to work on, using colorful dry erase markers to practice their Math strategies. Practice builds confidence and it allows all students to take risks and share their thinking using visual models and equations. 

 

What will be done with my students

The dry erase boards will be used to practice Math content that will be taught throughout the school year. Students will be able to work in small groups and pairs to share their thinking and use multiple strategies to solve word problems and equations. 

 

Benefits to my students

The benefit to my students would be that each of them would be able to practice their Math facts, equations and problems in a fun, interactive and engaging way with their classmates. Having the dry erase boards my students will feel empowered to take risks and gain confidence in their Math skills. 

 

Budget Narrative

The $42.78 would allow me to purchase two sets of dry erase boards for my students to use daily during Math instruction.
