Posca Markers Help Students' Creations Pop!

Help me give my students the ability to create vibrant projects without the bleed-through of typical markers.

My Project

This year, some of my students were coming in to class with projects that had incredible coloring! The vibrancy of the projects was so much better than I have ever seen with plain Crayola markers or Sharpie permanent markers (which bleed through onto other pages and onto desks!) Crayons don't have a smooth finish and oil pastels are a mess!

These Pasco Markers are incredible, but they are too expensive for most students to have access to.

This is probably the reason that I had never seen them before. I would like to purchase a set of these for each table group to use for their activities. (I have seen the students protect their own sets, and they know they are valuable, so I do not expect that these will be lying around with the caps left off! One of our students has a "sign out" sheet for other students to "check out" a marker from his personal collection!
