My Project
Pencils are the foundational building block of writing in school. Each child learns early how to write and recognize letters. Pencils are ever present in school supply lists globally.
Students may need more pencils for a variety of reasons.
Here are a few possible explanations that’s really happening in our classroom;
1. Frequent use: Pencils are a essential tool for students, and they can wear down quickly with frequent use.
2. Breakage: Pencils can break easily, especially if they are dropped or bent.
3. Loss: Students may misplace or lose their pencils, requiring replacements.
4. Sharing: In some cases, students may share pencils with their peers, leading to a need for more pencils.
This project shows that in classroom, one way to take good CARE of students is to give them the incentive pencils. I’m sure they will love it!
