A Sweet Time to Sharpen Up

Help me give my students sharpened pencils and some sweet prizes to earn in class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Goodsell's classroom raised $438

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project will be able to make a significant difference in my classroom by starting with the pencils and the sharpener.

Having the pencil sharpener will be able to make all the dull pencils become sharp.

That sounds really lame, but I know we all hate a dull pencil and really would appreciate a quick way to sharpen them up. I also am hoping to make my store more exciting with pencils that they can use in class.

If students earn enough tickets they are able to buy different items. This class really likes fancy pencils and I want them to be able to earn something they are hoping for.

Finally, a sweet treat is a fun and cheap thing that they are always able to buy in class for a minimal amount of tickets. I am so excited to have a few new things to sharpen up our class.
