Thank you so much for the thoughtful gift. It was very much appreciated. The dry erase markers were put to use right away in my classroom. As I have no projector or way to visually show information, much of the instruction I present to my students is done orally or from writing it on our dry erase board. I also provide the students with individual dry erase boards and often they will do their math problems on them or respond to questions I ask by using them. Throughout the year you can't imagine how many markers my class can run through so receiving some from my Santa was the perfect gift. The brightly colored pencils were also a great gift. We always need pencils and these cute ones just make writing a little more fun. Thank you for your your gift to my students.
