This is a very simple project but very important. I am asking for dry erase markers for my students. They are first graders and are just developing their fine motor skills. Unfortunately, this means that they go through dry erase markers at a staggering rate.
I want my students to be able to actively participate as we are learning.
We use dry erase markers and mini white-boards to show answers during math, write sentences to respond to informational text and to practice spelling. This allows students to be active participants in their learning and enables me to assess the students' understanding of the lesson. I want to do all of this without paper and without stress. When I have to worry about students' pens running out and not having the supplies to replace them it stresses us all out!
