My Project

My students use dry erase markers everyday! Even when students remember to put the caps on the markers they dry out fast. We need to refresh our supply and have a good stock of back ups. The amount that I've requested will help us get through the school year and hopefully give us a good start for next year!

Daily handwriting is important in kindergarten and these dry erase markers will help us achieve that!

These markers will help students with fine motor skills and writing skills that are important as they move through their education!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
