My Project

We are at the midpoint of the year and are in desperate need of pencils and headphones. I have begun to notice that these kids must be eating the pencils that I began the year with! I have no idea where they go, but I am almost out! And I am hoping that a pencil sharpener and dispenser will also help me keep these pencils in my room! I have added enough, though, that should get us through the rest of the year, God willing!! I thank you so much in advance for anything you can do!
