My Project

It’s the second semester and all of our writing utensils have dried out!

We need some whiteboard markers and felt tip pens to keep our momentum from the first semester rolling!

Pens and markers are such simple, relatively inexpensive items for a classroom and yet, without them, so much learning can’t happen. These are the tools that promote practice, recall, and understanding.

These markers and pens will help students with word patterns, paragraph writing, and revision. Please consider how effective these simple classroom tools are at achieving such important progress for struggling readers and writers!
