My Project

Dry erase markers are one of the tools that we use every single day in class.

Students use whiteboards and markers to show their work.

Every single time I say to get a whiteboard and marker, you'd think they'd never used them before, it's one of their favorite things to do. They really like it when I give them about 2 minutes to draw whatever they'd like to before starting the lesson.

Because we use them every day, I have to keep a supply on hand to replace the ones that are dried out, broken, or made it's way to someone's home.
