My Project

Helping my students create beautiful projects that they are proud of is something I enjoy about teaching. Having a class set of markers helps fulfill this need.

Students need to understand the importance of saying thanks so I am asking for thank you cards so students can send someone a thank you note to help brighten their day.

This is a lifelong skill that is undervalued in my opinion. Students could even use the new markers to decorate these thank you cards. Students often just need the opportunity to do something nice and they rise to the task at hand.
