My Project

We are in our fourth week of school and already my students have run out of basic supplies such as pencils and pens!

The most basic school supplies for all students are pencils, pens, and colored pencils.

Because of the extensive writing done in fifth grade, most students who came to school with a pack of pencils at the start of the school year, need to replenish but many cannot afford to.

Also, having a heavy-duty reliable pencil sharpener to keep those pencils sharp is very important in each classroom for every single student.

The colored pens and pencils will be used by my students for labeling and color-coding during science, which would help them visually recall and remember important illustrations and facts. Thank you for your support of our classroom's educational needs.
