In my classroom we use dry erase markers on a daily basis, several times throughout the day. For 3 years we would always not have enough markers because they were constantly being lost. At a training on summer a teacher shared a fabulous idea to keep up with these markers. They make an ice tray that is designed to make ice cubes that are long and slinder to fit in water bottles. Well these trays are perfect for storing dry erase markers and can be bought at Wal-Mart.
No, I'm not missing 6. I just don't need them, so I don't put them out or they really would me lost.
Here is a side view. Last year I had some dry erase markers that were fatter at the bottom and wouldn't fit in the slots. I was a little frustrated and kept them in a bucket next to the tray. That was until a student of mine was putting them away one day and just turned those markers upside down. Go figure, I had never thought of that.
