My Project
I am planning on providing these basic writing tools in class to provide a space where every student can safely store their writing utensils for easy retrieve and use. Most students come to class without the basic tools needed to learn and engage in class activities. At the beginning of the semester, I keep reminding students to bring their writing tools to class.
On many occasions, it is either non existent or left in the locker.
Students would ask permission to go for these tools from a friend or locker if they have them. Much as I provide pencils for students to use, they end up leaving class with those pencils and soon by the the third or fourth weeks there is no pencil to give out.
Please help me give my students with pencils, portfolio folders and 3-hole punched filler papers so they are always ready to learn and take good notes in class.
