My Students

"Mrs. D, do you have a pencil?" I teach 7th grade social studies to a highly culturally and racially diverse student body who share economic poverty as a common denominator. Even a pencil is out of reach for the family budget in so many of our students' homes.

Since ours is a high poverty school, many students are not able to come to class prepared with adequate writing instruments.

They often view the school, and our class in particular, as the only source of help. Since I work with 150 students enrolled in my classes, I seek help in providing our students with the basic tool of a pencil.

My Project

Our project is called "On Point" because students recognize that their number one job is to learn. The number one disruption to learning is missing materials, which can begin to be corrected by having a pencil for each student. Social Studies students learn by doing, discussing and drawing. Students, particularly those with learning disabilities and English language limitations which are widespread in our classes, learn best by drawing concepts in graphic organizers and by creating maps and illustrations.

If you were to ask my students what their job is, in unison they would sing out, "to learn!" Yet, these students are lacking the basic necessities.

How remarkable it is that simply putting a pencil in the hand of a 7th grader unlocks the world of possibilities in expressing ideas, hopes and ambitions!
