Charge Up

Help me give my students dry erase markers so they can update their daily schedules, perform writing activities on their whiteboards while eliminating the paper waste, and for our everyday use in the classroom. Batteries are always needed.

My Students

My students are amazing. I teach a structured autism class and have tremendous support from my paraprofessionals that aid each one of my student's success. My class is full of wonderful scholars who have severe special needs. My students are in grades third through fifth. We are a very busy, active class so I'm always needing extra supplies for my students.

My Project

We use dry erase markers every day at school. We use them to write our daily schedules, during our good morning activities, during writing assignments, etc. Dry erase markers are where my personal money goes for most of the year. Help me replenish my dwindling dry erase markers so my students can continue saving one tree at a time.

Not only do we go through a tremendous amount of dry erase markers, but we are also known for going through AAA and AA batteries for our daily games activities.

We use games to help teach turn-taking, sharing, cooperating with our peers, along with it is just plain fun. Many of our games require batteries, so providing us with rechargeable ones, can keep us up and running for many years.
