My Project

My students are very creative and love to use markers to write. So much so that all of theirs are running out! These markers and ink pads will help them with their creative skills and also literacy skills. We use ink pads to practice putting words together with stamps, this keeps students engaged while helping them with their literacy skills. Students will be able to express themselves and their thoughts using these materials. This time of the year supplies start running low, and I want to make sure my students have everything they need to be successful!
