My Project
The goal of this project is to ensure that every student in my classroom has consistent access to essential writing and drawing tools—specifically pencils and markers. By providing these basic but vital supplies, I aim to create a learning environment where students can fully participate in academic activities, express their creativity, and take pride in their work without being hindered by a lack of materials.
With a ready supply of pencils and markers in the classroom:
Students can immediately dive into learning activities without delay.
Learning becomes more hands-on, visual, and creative.
Classroom management improves, as fewer disruptions are caused by missing materials.
Every student feels included and supported, regardless of their personal circumstances.
This project promotes equity, engagement, and expression—cornerstones of meaningful education.
