The use of dry erase markers is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. The use of dry erase marker whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instructions. We need a supply of dry erase pens. I am also requesting copy paper. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will also help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not!
