My Project

Pencils, erasers, and dry erase markers are some of the most essential supplies students use in school. In our classroom, we use these materials on a daily basis for academic instruction.

Dry erase markers are such a simple yet efficient tool for students to quickly show their learning on a dry erase board.

Students use dry erase markers during math lessons to show their thinking and to mark phonetic patterns in our word study lessons! Having pencils and markers always available can help my students to keep focused on their work.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, kindness, and support.

Mrs. Kendall
Grades PreK-2
