My Project

My students and I are looking to finish out the year as strong as ever! In order to do that, we are in need of some supplies to do just that. We are low on dry-erase markers.

My students enjoy using the markers to play educational games, work out math problem, and write their daily do nows.

These markers help reduce the use of paper and also add more fun to every activity that we do. The easers are important so that they are able to ease their work after they are done and do not have to use their hands. All of the items on this list are in low supply and my families are not able to help. My students enjoy authentic hands-on learning, and these supplies help aid in that. These items will increase work time because we are not sharing and not having to worry about who is without.
