- 4. Four Easels from IKEA (3 used & 1 new) – each group will have an easel where mini lessons in a variety of subjects can take place, as well, a variety of small group games can be played $19 New @ IKEA or check on www.kijiji.com
- 5. Flip side of the easels have whiteboards where mini lessons in a variety of subjects can take place, small group instructions given to differentiate instruction for students
- 6. Large Whiteboards – will be used for collaborative problem solving and recording of solutions and ideas; once shared with the whole group an iPad can be used to capture the thinking and saved for reflections – watch for “resale” of these boards at local Salvation Army, Goodwill, Value Village stores, sometimes these boards appear at garage sales too– prices will vary
- 7. Photo Albums ready to be filled with pictures documenting the learning and saved as an audit trail of our learning together throughout the year; students will be encouraged to share reflections and write comments on the documentation – always a variety of photo albums available at garage sales and Goodwill stores

- 12. Using the Character Education books “How Full Is Your Bucket?” as a springboard into the new school year, plastic buckets will be used to store materials and each bucket will have a notepad so that anyone can “fill someone’s bucket” with a nice thought or compliment – all of this would be modeled for students – “teacher pen” will be in each bucket so that learning can be captured or commented on - also watch for sales on school supplies on www.kijiji.com
- 13. More Whiteboards = Less Chart Paper Less Chart Paper = More $ for books!
