Smelly Markers and Privacy Shields Needed!

Help me give my students Mr. Sketch scented markers and new privacy shields.

My Project

I am thankful to DonorsChoose for providing a platform to receive the items I need to make my classroom instruction as effective as possible. My class this year is especially kind, thoughtful, and just nice to be around! They make coming to work not seem like work.

When analyzing my needs for the remainder of the school year, two items came to mind.

First, our class box of Mr. Sketch scented markers is just about worn to the nubs! The kids love using these markers to create art and illustrate assignments. They are well-loved. Another item that desperately needs replacing is the privacy shields that we use for tests. The set I have now is cardboard and pretty ripped up. The ones I am requesting from this order are plastic and will last much longer.

If you ask any kid in my class what needs to be replaced the most, they would most likely say these two things. Please help support my project!
