Let's Color Their World

Help me give my student's class some color. Sharpie markers are bright, they do not fade, the colors are long-lasting, and the best to use when making process charts. So I am asking for help with this please.

My Project

I requested help with obtaining Sharpie Markers. These markers have so many different colors and tips. That could be used for many different projects.

I would use them for process charts.

Process charts, allow students to view a previous study topic. The chart would have the definition along with examples.

This is when the Sharpies would be used. Sharpies with their bright and bold colors would allow scholars to see the chart near and far. Sharpies color do not fade, are long-lasting, and can be used for writing and drawing.

The different tips would enhance words, differentiate words and their meaning, and also allow for pictures to be used if need be for example.

This is why I am asking for help Sharpies are great but expensive. With my 35-plus years, these are the best ones to use.
