classroom makeover winners
Congratulations to Alexandra Blalock of Dickinson ISD,
Kaci Byrom of La Vernia ISD, and Brooke Raney of Goose
Creek ISD! Each received a $500 classroom makeover thanks
to ATPE. Student teacher members who upgraded to frst-time
professional members by Sept. 30, 2015, were automatically
entered in ATPE's classroom makeover drawing.
BROOKE RANEY'S classroom makeover added up to more math fun
and learning for her students!
"I was able to purchase several things to enhance learning in
my third-grade math class. Some of the things I purchased were
electronic fash cards, manipulatives for math centers, and a cubby
shelf. My students love the fash cards. They practice multiplication
and division facts when they fnish their work. They were thrilled
when they saw all the new colored pencils and crayons. ATPE gives
so much back to teachers! I was a member of ATPE during my student
teaching and made the easy choice of continuing my membership
during my frst year of teaching. Thanks again for the makeover!
ALEXANDRA BLALOCK transformed her classroom by creating writing
ofces for students and purchasing dry erase whiteboard supplies!
"I love that I am a part of an organization that values teachers and
is always looking for ways to partner with them. My kids were so
excited about having their 'own' whiteboard to use during lessons.
These are such a great way to keep students engaged and having
fun. We have used them for quick quizzes, responding to prompts,
and class games. I also was able to create a writing ofce for
each of my students. They love having a place they can go to
really focus and dig deep into their writing. They also have great
reminders for the students in them!"

classroom, but my students as well! I purchased anchor charts,
mini handheld whiteboards, books for my classroom library, binders,
science center activities, listening center equipment, letter and
number stamps, art supplies, and many containers for organization.

was the mini handheld whiteboards—we use them for everything!
