Writing, Coloring, Drawing, Oh, Wow!

My Project

Please help me give my scholars writing utensils for our classroom. We use whiteboards all the time, and our dry erase markers run out pretty quickly. Crayons are such a huge part of our day, and I would like to give my scholars a new box to start the new year off right.

I would also love to have some fun pencils.

This might get students to take care of them a little more and be an incentive. Markers are always fun, and we use them on special occasions, but sometimes we lose the lids, so this marker holder will be great also!
