My Project

Please help my students get new Bic crayons. These crayons are long, have no wrapper, and do not break. You can even sharpen them in a pencil sharpener!

My students love coloring, especially when they have sharp crayons.

These crayons will help continue to motivate my students to always try their best and take pride in their work.

They will be used multiple times during the school day. They can use them to add illustrations to stories they are writing. They can color in word sheets. They can use them to draw examples for math problems. The possibilities are endless!
