My Students
My students come from low-income and working class families and are part of a long tradition of hard work and learning. Most of them have part time jobs after school, and what little they have, has not come easy.
Our school is the oldest and most crowded high school in the city.
Many parents and grandparents attended this very same school. Even with hardships, they have kind generous hearts. Most of them really need support, so I give them all I've got. They are willing to work hard for me in spite of my corny science jokes because they know that I believe in them!
My Project
The first week of school, everyone has a pencil is looking SHARP, but beyond that, my students need a lot of help to stay on POINT. Without basic supplies, things start to get a bit SKETCHY, and I'd like to help, so I'm drawing a LINE. All these puns have LEAD me to this point:
I usually have 6-8 high school students every day who don't have a pencil when they get to my class.
That's over 1400 pencils for a school year. My students have much bigger problems than keeping up with a pencil, so if I can surmount this tiny obstacle for them, it can sometimes mean the difference between success or failure.
What did the pencil say to the suspicious piece of paper? "I dot my i's on you!" If #2 pencils are so popular, why aren't they #1? Seriously though, I'm drawing a blank. Face it, good pencil jokes are never dull.
More than half of students from low‑income households
