Penciling in the New Year!

Help me give my students a sharp start by penciling in new year!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Throughout this year, my students have lost, broken, and used an insane amount of pencils. The ones provided by the school are easily broken and prove to last 1-2 days if we are lucky. We have worked through all the remaining boxes available to us.

I am hoping this project allows my students not only access to higher quality pencils, but also helps them learn the responsibility of keeping track of their personal items.

The pencil grips will go on each desk to aid the students in keeping track of their pencils and avoiding them getting lost inside of the desk, on the floor, or shoved in their backpacks.

Help me start of the new year with new pencils, erasers, pencil grips, and a 2023 class calendar!
