Writing that Glows

Help me give my students gel pens that will make writing fun and exciting.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Wahid's classroom raised $167

This project is fully funded

My Project

Daily we spend an hour engaged in small group reading centers. While I am with a small group of students teaching them how to read, the remainder of the students are spread around the room engaged in independent reading, writing, and spelling activities.

We have LED light-up boards, but no neon markers.

So, we are requesting markers to be used with our light board. The light board has LED lights and requires neon dry-erase markers. This light board will be one of our independent writing activities students can do during small group reading.
