Remember, what we do everyday matters more than we think!

This YouTube video reminds us of the most fundamental things to help build upon so we can actually teach!

I really, really geek out on pens.

Like, bad. 🤓

So believe me when I tell you that I literally tried pretty much all the erasable gel pens Amazon had to offer (final count was about 13 different brands and types of pen tips) and the final verdict was clear:
Sunacme erasable gel pens!

I thought the .7mm tip would be too broad since I usually prefer .5mm but these are a perfect balance in between for signing all sorts of stuff at school.

As far as the erasable part, they can only be erased by friction (the tip at the end is a silicone-like material that erases the ink with friction) and this brand is the only one that let me erase it AND rewrite in the same spot over 3 times! 



Of course as English teachers, I’m sure we all hope we would never have to rewrite something three times, lol!



Sunacme’s ink was also the more vibrant and bold of the options; the others looked too light and somewhat faded. 



These are indistinguishable from regular, non-erasable gel pens! Check it out:

Available in packs of red, blue, and black ink (16-pack for $10.99 right now —that’s  less that $1 per pen!) and in packs of just black and blue ink (16-pack for $9.99!)
