Dry Erase Markers Gone Dry!

Help me give my students various school supplies for successful learning to happen.

My Project

The use of dry erase markers is a daily activity in my classroom especially in Math wherein students use them to write on their personal whiteboard during a guided practice activity in solving Math problems. With the frequent use of dry erase markers they dry out easily and whenever it happens, students get distracted and the flow of learning is being interrupted.

Having much supply of dry erase markers at hand would help students focus more on the skills taught every single day.

We are hoping to get some supply of dry erase markers and other various supplies which would be a great help for students and teacher to achieve better.
