My Project

My Apple Pencil recently went missing somehow. I bought a $1,500 iPad pro and the pencil with my own money. This is the 2nd pencil to magically go missing and I can no longer pay for these expensive tools out of pocket. My iPad cover broke and now I am risking the screen being cracked whenever I transport it (which is daily because I bring it home to continue working).

When I started teaching with out my Apple Pencil the students were joking that I am teaching the old school way, which ironically is how most other teachers teach.

My school will not supply me with this. I requested a pencil in an earlier DonorsChoose but realized that I added things for the students and made it harder to achieve. Everyday I am without this pencil, my classes potential drops an estimated 0.5% a day-(They cannot fall below 60% which is still higher than average- but we are projected at 80% right now- We were at 90%).
