My Project

I think it would be neat to use mechanical pencils as incentives! I would like to start by allowing each student in fourth grade to choose a mechanical pencil and then use them as incentives for hard work, staying on task, and participation. Students LOVE mechanical pencils and I think this would be a fun addition to their fourth-grade year. I am also convinced that students EAT pencils because we FLY through them. I think this would help students be more responsible with their materials.

Students should never have a reason not to write in class!

Thank you for considering our project.
