My Project

My lively fourth-grade class is in a rural part of Washington State. Our students are delightful, but the area is not financially flush.

Our kids love learning about science and the natural world.

The Scholastic Magazine will help us engage in great learning and discussions.

The Crayola markers will help the students create posters, diagrams, and other projects to show their learning.

We use Expo markers on our white boards in math. Somehow, the markers are constantly disappearing. Are the kids eating them? Hmm... We could really use more of these!

Thank you for considering us!
