My Project

This project is largely designed to supply students with writing devices needed for paper assignments and projects. Even though technology has become commonplace and is used every day in my class, traditional paper-based assignments are still part of the equation.

With the implementation of technology into the classroom, the seemingly simple task of coming to school with a writing device is often overlooked, so supplying students with the necessary writing devices will maximize their chances of being successful while increasing learner output—leading to great success!

With this project, my students will not have to worry about finding a writing device or making the trip to the store if money is tight. This project will ensure that all of my students have this basic need provided for them. The planner is to help keep their teacher (me) organized and on top of his game to ensure the maximum use of every precious instructional minute.
