Help Us!!! We Need Dry Erase Markers and Boards

Help me give my students the tools they need to learn. Dry erase markers dry out so fast and it leaves the students scrambling for another one.

My Project

We spend a lot of writing on dry erase boards but, it's the first thing that causes craziness when we are working in small groups. The children get upset because their markers are dried out, the marker isn't coming off their board, and everything else that can ruin their day. Dry erase boards and dry erase markers have become a staple in the classroom where the children can express themselves. They express themselves by getting the answer right when they solve a problem, make a word, or just to let us know how they are feeling. We are asking to please replenish our dry erase boards and markers, and help in making learning fun.
